Materials Data on Mg(NiS2)2 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg(NiS2)2 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form MgS4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve NiS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 60–61°. There are two shorter (2.41 Å) and two longer (2.42 Å) Mg–S bond lengths. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form MgS4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve NiS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 60–61°. There are three shorter (2.41 Å) and one longer (2.42 Å) Mg–S bond lengths. There are four inequivalent Ni3+ sites. In the first Ni3+ site, Ni3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form NiS6 octahedra that share corners with six MgS4 tetrahedra and edges with six NiS6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.31 Å) and three longer (2.32 Å) Ni–S bond lengths. In the second Ni3+ site, Ni3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form NiS6 octahedra that share corners with six MgS4 tetrahedra and edges with six NiS6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.31 Å) and three longer (2.32more »
