Title: Materials Data on Ca3Sn2S7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ca3Sn2S7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five S2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–S bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.02 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven S2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–S bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.32 Å. In the third Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six S2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–S bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.09 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn4+ sites. In the first Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form corner-sharing SnS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.46 Å. In the second Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to five S2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing SnS5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.41–3.11 Å. There are seven inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+ and two Sn4+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- ismore » bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Ca2+ and one Sn4+ atom. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Ca2+ and one Sn4+ atom. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Ca2+ and two Sn4+ atoms. In the fifth S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Ca2+ and one Sn4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SCa3Sn trigonal pyramids. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Ca2+ and one Sn4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SCa3Sn trigonal pyramids. In the seventh S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Ca2+ and one Sn4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SCa3Sn tetrahedra.« less
