Abstract

We uncovered a new modification of SrZrS₃ at low temperature, which forms the NH₄CdCl₃ type. The earlier reported type (GdFeO₃) is the high temperature modification. The structures of both SrZrS₃ modifications were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Both crystallize in the orthorhombic crystal system, space group Pnma. The cell dimensions for α-SrZrS₃ (NH₄CdCl ₃ type) are: a=8.5254(7) Å, b=3.8255(3) Å, c=13.9246(12) Å, V=454.14(6) Å3 (Z=4), and for β-SrZrS₃ (GdFeO₃ type): a=7.1080(5) Å, b=9.7715(7) Å, c=6.7406(5) Å, V=468.17(6) Å3 (Z=4). The α form consists of building blocks of one-dimensional chains with edge-sharing ZrS₆ octahedra and intervening alkaline earth cations (Sr). The β form is comprised of a three-dimensional network of corner-sharing ZrS₆ octahedra, and the structure can be viewed as a distorted perovskite.
