Title: Materials Data on CaSn2S5 by Materials Project

Abstract

CaSn2S5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two CaSn2S5 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ca2+ is bonded in a distorted pentagonal planar geometry to five S2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–S bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.14 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn4+ sites. In the first Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form SnS6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent SnS6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent SnS4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 55°. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.71 Å. In the second Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form corner-sharing SnS4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 59–70°. There are a spread of Sn–S bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.47 Å. There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Ca2+ and two equivalent Sn4+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Ca2+ and two Sn4+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in amore » distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ca2+ and two Sn4+ atoms. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Sn4+ atoms.« less
