Title: Materials Data on Cr(InS2)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Cr(InS2)2 is Spinel-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cr2+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form CrS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent InS4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent CrS6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent InS6 octahedra. There are two shorter (2.45 Å) and four longer (2.48 Å) Cr–S bond lengths. There are two inequivalent In3+ sites. In the first In3+ site, In3+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form InS4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent CrS6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent InS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 52–67°. There are two shorter (2.58 Å) and two longer (2.60 Å) In–S bond lengths. In the second In3+ site, In3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form InS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent InS4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent InS6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent CrS6 octahedra. All In–S bond lengths are 2.65 Å. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Cr2+ and three In3+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bondedmore » to two equivalent Cr2+ and two In3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SCr2In2 trigonal pyramids.« less
