Abstract
KBi2CuS4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded to seven S2- atoms to form distorted KS7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with eight BiS6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent CuS4 trigonal pyramids, edges with six BiS6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent CuS4 trigonal pyramids, and faces with two equivalent KS7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 18–74°. There are a spread of K–S bond distances ranging from 3.26–3.43 Å. Cu1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form CuS4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with two BiS6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent KS7 pentagonal bipyramids, corners with two equivalent CuS4 trigonal pyramids, edges with four BiS6 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent KS7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 3–15°. There are a spread of Cu–S bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.71 Å. There are two inequivalent Bi3+ sites. In the first Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form BiS6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent BiS6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent KS7 pentagonal bipyramids, a cornercorner with one CuS4 trigonal pyramid, edges with five BiS6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent KS7 pentagonalmore »
