Materials Data on K2CuF4 by Materials Project
K2CuF4 is (La,Ba)CuO4-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine F1- atoms. There are a spread of K–F bond distances ranging from 2.63–2.97 Å. Cu2+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing CuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are a spread of Cu–F bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.25 Å. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded to four equivalent K1+ and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms to form distorted FK4Cu2 octahedra that share corners with fourteen FK5Cu octahedra, edges with two equivalent FK4Cu2 octahedra, and faces with eight FK5Cu octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–58°. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded to five equivalent K1+ and one Cu2+ atom to form distorted FK5Cu octahedra that share corners with seventeen FK5Cu octahedra, edges with eight equivalent FK5Cu octahedra, and faces with four equivalent FK4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–58°.
