Materials Data on NiH8S2(NO2)4 by Materials Project

Ni(SO4)2(NH2)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of four ammonia molecules and one Ni(SO4)2 ribbon oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In the Ni(SO4)2 ribbon, Ni2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.03 Å) and two longer (2.08 Å) Ni–O bond lengths. S2- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.47–1.52 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ni2+ and one S2- atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S2- atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni2+ and one S2- atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S2- atom.
