Materials Data on KLaGeS4 by Materials Project
Abstract
KLaGeS4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of K–S bond distances ranging from 3.24–3.61 Å. La3+ is bonded to seven S2- atoms to form distorted LaS7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent LaS7 pentagonal bipyramids, a cornercorner with one GeS4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LaS7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with three equivalent GeS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of La–S bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.15 Å. Ge4+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form GeS4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one LaS7 pentagonal bipyramid and edges with three equivalent LaS7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ge–S bond distances ranging from 2.20–2.25 Å. There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, two equivalent La3+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to three equivalent K1+, one La3+, and one Ge4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SK3LaGe trigonal bipyramids. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometrymore »
