Title: Materials Data on Si(Hg2S3)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Hg4SiS6 is Chalcostibite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Hg2+ sites. In the first Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five S2- atoms. There are a spread of Hg–S bond distances ranging from 2.58–3.30 Å. In the second Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form HgS4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent HgS4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent SiS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Hg–S bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.68 Å. In the third Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form HgS4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent HgS4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent SiS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Hg–S bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.74 Å. In the fourth Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four S2- atoms. There are a spread of Hg–S bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.70 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form SiS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four HgS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Si–S bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.16 Å. There are six inequivalent S2- sites.more » In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to four Hg2+ atoms to form corner-sharing SHg4 tetrahedra. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Hg2+ and one Si4+ atom. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Hg2+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Hg2+ and one Si4+ atom. In the fifth S2- site, S2- is bonded to four Hg2+ atoms to form corner-sharing SHg4 tetrahedra. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Hg2+ and one Si4+ atom.« less
