Title: Materials Data on NiS2 by Materials Project

Abstract

NiS2 is Skutterudite-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ni4+ sites. In the first Ni4+ site, Ni4+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form NiS6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent NiS6 octahedra, corners with six SNi3S tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent NiS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 62–63°. There are a spread of Ni–S bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.78 Å. In the second Ni4+ site, Ni4+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form NiS6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent NiS6 octahedra, corners with six SNi3S tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent NiS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 62–63°. There are a spread of Ni–S bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.78 Å. There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Ni4+ and one S2- atom to form distorted SNi3S tetrahedra that share corners with three NiS6 octahedra, corners with thirteen SNi3S tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one SNi3S tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 66–77°. The S–S bond length is 2.10 Å. In the second S2- site, S2-more » is bonded to three Ni4+ and one S2- atom to form distorted SNi3S tetrahedra that share corners with three NiS6 octahedra, corners with thirteen SNi3S tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one SNi3S tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 66–76°. The S–S bond length is 2.10 Å. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Ni4+ and one S2- atom to form distorted SNi3S tetrahedra that share corners with three NiS6 octahedra, corners with thirteen SNi3S tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one SNi3S tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 66–76°. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Ni4+ and one S2- atom to form distorted SNi3S tetrahedra that share corners with three NiS6 octahedra, corners with thirteen SNi3S tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one SNi3S tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 66–77°.« less
