LiCuS crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent S(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing LiS4 tetrahedra. Cu(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SLi4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-68°.
LiCuS crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent S(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing LiS4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.45 Å) and two longer (2.47 Å) Li(1)-S(1) bond lengths. Cu(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S(1) atoms. Both Cu(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.15 Å. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SLi4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-68°.
