Materials Data on Gd3InS6 by Materials Project
Abstract
Gd3InS6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Gd3+ sites. In the first Gd3+ site, Gd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of Gd–S bond distances ranging from 2.81–2.94 Å. In the second Gd3+ site, Gd3+ is bonded to seven S2- atoms to form distorted GdS7 pentagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one InS6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent InS6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent GdS7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 42°. There are a spread of Gd–S bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.94 Å. In the third Gd3+ site, Gd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of Gd–S bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.14 Å. There are two inequivalent In3+ sites. In the first In3+ site, In3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form InS6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent InS6 octahedra and edges with four equivalent GdS7 pentagonal bipyramids. All In–S bond lengths are 2.63 Å. In the second In3+ site, In3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form InS6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalentmore »
