Materials Data on Tm4MgS7 by Materials Project
Abstract
MgTm4S7 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form MgS6 octahedra that share corners with three TmS6 octahedra, corners with six TmS7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent MgS6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent TmS6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one TmS7 pentagonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–55°. There are a spread of Mg–S bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.68 Å. There are four inequivalent Tm3+ sites. In the first Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded to seven S2- atoms to form distorted TmS7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent MgS6 octahedra, corners with four TmS6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one MgS6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent TmS6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent TmS7 pentagonal bipyramids, and faces with two equivalent TmS7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 20–73°. There are a spread of Tm–S bond distances ranging from 2.68–3.03 Å. In the second Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded to seven S2- atoms to form distorted TmS7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent MgS6 octahedra, corners with six TmS6 octahedra, edges with four TmS6 octahedra, edges with two equivalentmore »
