Abstract
MgYb2S4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pca2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form MgS6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one YbS6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent MgS6 octahedra, corners with two SYb3Mg2S octahedra, an edgeedge with one MgS6 octahedra, and edges with four YbS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–68°. There are a spread of Mg–S bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.96 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form distorted MgS6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one YbS6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one SYb4MgS octahedra, corners with two equivalent MgS6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one MgS6 octahedra, and edges with four YbS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–68°. There are a spread of Mg–S bond distances ranging from 2.39–2.92 Å. There are four inequivalent Yb3+ sites. In the first Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form YbS6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one MgS6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one SYb3Mg2S octahedra, corners with two equivalent YbS6 octahedra, an edgeedge with onemore »
