Materials Data on Er3ScS6 by Materials Project
Abstract
Er3ScS6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Er3+ sites. In the first Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of Er–S bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.96 Å. In the second Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to seven S2- atoms to form distorted ErS7 pentagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one ScS6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent ErS6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent ScS6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent ErS7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 35–51°. There are a spread of Er–S bond distances ranging from 2.65–2.92 Å. In the third Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form ErS6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent ScS6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent ErS7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with four equivalent ErS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 58–61°. There are a spread of Er–S bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.74 Å. Sc3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form ScS6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent ErS6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one ErS7 pentagonal bipyramid, edges with four equivalentmore »
