Materials Data on ThSO6 by Materials Project
ThSO6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of Th–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.44 Å. S is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. There is two shorter (1.48 Å) and two longer (1.49 Å) S–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Th and one S atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Th and one S atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Th and one S atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Th and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.52 Å.
