Materials Data on Na3Ag(TeS3)2 by Materials Project

Na3Ag(TeS3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form NaS6 octahedra that share corners with six NaS6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent AgS6 octahedra, and edges with four NaS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–23°. There are a spread of Na–S bond distances ranging from 2.91–2.97 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form NaS6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent AgS6 octahedra, corners with four NaS6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent AgS6 octahedra, and edges with five NaS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–20°. There are a spread of Na–S bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.07 Å. In the third Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form NaS6 octahedra that share corners with four NaS6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent AgS6 octahedra, and edges with five NaS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 12–23°. There are a spread of Na–S bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.35 Å. Ag1+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form distorted AgS6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NaS6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent AgS6 octahedra, and edges with seven NaS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 10–20°. There are a spread of Ag–S bond distances ranging from 2.63–3.46 Å. There are two inequivalent Te4+ sites. In the first Te4+ site, Te4+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four S2- atoms. There are a spread of Te–S bond distances ranging from 2.37–3.40 Å. In the second Te4+ site, Te4+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four S2- atoms. There are a spread of Te–S bond distances ranging from 2.38–3.40 Å. There are six inequivalent S2- sites.
