Abstract
CaSnS3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/a space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–S bond distances ranging from 2.89–3.26 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–S bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.11 Å. In the third Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form CaS6 octahedra that share corners with six SnS4 tetrahedra. There are four shorter (2.80 Å) and two longer (2.82 Å) Ca–S bond lengths. There are four inequivalent Sn4+ sites. In the first Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form corner-sharing SnS6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.58 Å) and two longer (2.60 Å) Sn–S bond lengths. In the second Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form SnS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CaS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 62°. All Sn–S bond lengths are 2.41 Å. In the third Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to fourmore »
