Abstract
CaSnS3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to seven S2- atoms to form distorted CaS7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with four SnS4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent CaS6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CaS7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with two SnS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ca–S bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.05 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form distorted CaS6 octahedra that share corners with five SnS4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent CaS7 pentagonal bipyramids, and an edgeedge with one SnS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ca–S bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.05 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 2.82–3.08 Å. There are three inequivalent Sn4+ sites. In the first Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form distorted SnS4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent CaS6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one CaS7 pentagonal bipyramid, corners with two SnS4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with onemore »

There are a spread of Ca–S bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.08 Å. There are three inequivalent Sn4+ sites. In the first Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form distorted SnS4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent CaS6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one CaS7 pentagonal bipyramid, corners with two SnS4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one CaS7 pentagonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–66°. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.48 Å. In the second Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form distorted SnS4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CaS6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one CaS7 pentagonal bipyramid, corners with two SnS4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one CaS7 pentagonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 64°. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.49 Å.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 61°. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.39–2.44 Å. There are nine inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Ca2+ and one Sn4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SCa3Sn tetrahedra. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Ca2+ and one Sn4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SCa3Sn tetrahedra. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Ca2+ and one Sn4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SCa3Sn tetrahedra. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one 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 edge and corner-sharing SCa3Sn tetrahedra. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ca2+ and two Sn4+ atoms. In the seventh S2- site, S2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Ca2+ and one Sn4+ atom. In the eighth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Ca2+ and one Sn4+ atom.
