Title: Materials Data on NdMgS3 by Materials Project

Abstract

MgNdS3 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to six S+1.67- atoms to form distorted MgS6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent NdS6 pentagonal pyramids, edges with three equivalent MgS6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent NdS6 pentagonal pyramids. There are a spread of Mg–S bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.88 Å. Nd3+ is bonded to six S+1.67- atoms to form distorted NdS6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent MgS6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent MgS6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one NdS6 pentagonal pyramid, and a faceface with one NdS6 pentagonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 38–48°. There are a spread of Nd–S bond distances ranging from 2.77–3.00 Å. There are two inequivalent S+1.67- sites. In the first S+1.67- site, S+1.67- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg2+ and two equivalent Nd3+ atoms. In the second S+1.67- site, S+1.67- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Mg2+ and two equivalent Nd3+ atoms.
