SnTaS2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ta(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing TaS6 pentagonal pyramids. Sn(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Ta(1) and one Sn(1) atom.
SnTaS2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ta(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing TaS6 pentagonal pyramids. All Ta(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.47 Å. Sn(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S(1) atoms. Both Sn(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.83 Å. S(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Ta(1) and one Sn(1) atom.
