Materials Data on SnPbS2 by Materials Project
PbSnS2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmc2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pb2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six S2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–S bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.50 Å. Sn2+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three S2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.59 Å) and two longer (2.68 Å) Sn–S bond lengths. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pb2+ and two equivalent Sn2+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pb2+ and one Sn2+ atom.
