Title: Materials Data on Ca2SnS4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ca2SnS4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven S2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–S bond distances ranging from 2.83–3.21 Å. Sn4+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form edge-sharing SnS6 octahedra. There are two shorter (2.51 Å) and four longer (2.66 Å) Sn–S bond lengths. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to four equivalent Ca2+ and one Sn4+ atom to form distorted SCa4Sn square pyramids that share corners with five equivalent SCa4Sn square pyramids, corners with four equivalent SCa3Sn2 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent SCa4Sn square pyramids, and edges with six equivalent SCa3Sn2 trigonal bipyramids. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to three equivalent Ca2+ and two equivalent Sn4+ atoms to form distorted SCa3Sn2 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent SCa4Sn square pyramids, corners with eight equivalent SCa3Sn2 trigonal bipyramids, edges with six equivalent SCa4Sn square pyramids, and edges with two equivalent SCa3Sn2 trigonal bipyramids.
