Materials Data on Pr6Mn(GeS7)2 by Materials Project

Pr6Mn(GeS7)2 crystallizes in the trigonal P3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pr3+ sites. In the first Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–S bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.35 Å. In the second Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–S bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.19 Å. Mn2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six S2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.47 Å) and three longer (2.48 Å) Mn–S bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ge4+ sites. In the first Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four S2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.19 Å) and three longer (2.24 Å) Ge–S bond lengths. In the second Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four S2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.19 Å) and three longer (2.24 Å) Ge–S bond lengths. There are six inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Pr3+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Pr3+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to three equivalent Pr3+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to three equivalent Pr3+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the fifth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Pr3+ and one Mn2+ atom. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Pr3+ and one Mn2+ atom.
