Materials Data on Rb2Gd4Cu4S9 by Materials Project
Abstract
Rb2Gd4Cu4S9 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–S bond distances ranging from 3.26–3.87 Å. There are two inequivalent Gd3+ sites. In the first Gd3+ site, Gd3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form GdS6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one GdS6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent GdS6 octahedra, and edges with five CuS4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 31°. There are a spread of Gd–S bond distances ranging from 2.72–2.84 Å. In the second Gd3+ site, Gd3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form GdS6 octahedra that share corners with three GdS6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one CuS4 tetrahedra, edges with five equivalent GdS6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–31°. There are a spread of Gd–S bond distances ranging from 2.71–2.89 Å. There are two inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form CuS4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one GdS6 octahedra, corners with four CuS4 tetrahedra, andmore »
