Materials Data on Eu2MgS4 by Materials Project
Abstract
MgEu2S4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to five S2- atoms to form MgS5 square pyramids that share corners with four EuS6 octahedra, edges with four EuS6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent MgS5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 5°. There are a spread of Mg–S bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.68 Å. There are two inequivalent Eu3+ sites. In the first Eu3+ site, Eu3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form EuS6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent EuS6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent MgS5 square pyramids, edges with six EuS6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one MgS5 square pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 58–59°. There are a spread of Eu–S bond distances ranging from 2.79–2.89 Å. In the second Eu3+ site, Eu3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form EuS6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent EuS6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent MgS5 square pyramids, edges with four EuS6 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent MgS5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 58–59°. There are a spread of Eu–S bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.93 Å. There are fourmore »

In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Eu3+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Eu3+ atoms. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded to two equivalent Mg2+ and three Eu3+ atoms to form SEu3Mg2 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent SEu2Mg3 square pyramids and edges with five SEu3Mg2 square pyramids.},
