La2SnS3O2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. La(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(2) atoms to form corner-sharing SnS4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and one Sn(1) atom. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLa4 tetrahedra.
La2SnS3O2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. La(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are a spread of La(1)-S(2) bond distances ranging from 3.18-3.29 Å. There are three shorter (2.40 Å) and one longer (2.41 Å) La(1)-O(1) bond length. Sn(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(2) atoms to form corner-sharing SnS4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (2.44 Å) and one longer (2.47 Å) Sn(1)-S(1) bond length. Both Sn(1)-S(2) bond lengths are 2.36 Å. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1) and one Sn(1) atom. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLa4 tetrahedra.
