Title: Materials Data on Yb2MgS4 by Materials Project

Abstract

MgYb2S4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six S2- atoms. There are a spread of Mg–S bond distances ranging from 2.39–3.09 Å. There are two inequivalent Yb3+ sites. In the first Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven S2- atoms. There are a spread of Yb–S bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.11 Å. In the second Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing YbS6 pentagonal pyramids. There are a spread of Yb–S bond distances ranging from 2.74–2.88 Å. There are three inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Mg2+, three Yb3+, and one S2- atom. The S–S bond length is 2.08 Å. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg2+ and three Yb3+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Mg2+ and four Yb3+ atoms.
