TaPbS2 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. Pb(1) is bonded in a distorted 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 Pb(1) atom.
TaPbS2 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 2.48 Å. Pb(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent S(1) atoms. Both Pb(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.93 Å. S(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Ta(1) and one Pb(1) atom.
