Materials Data on Li2Cu2(SO4)3 by Materials Project
Li2Cu2(SO4)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four SO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent CuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–1.98 Å. Cu2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six SO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.42 Å. There are two inequivalent S6+ sites. In the first S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 27–40°. There is two shorter (1.47 Å) and two longer (1.51 Å) S–O bond length. In the second S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 17–50°. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.51 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cu2+, and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cu2+, and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Cu2+, and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cu2+, and one S6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Cu2+ and one S6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one S6+ atom.
