Materials Data on Na(Pr2Se3)4 by Materials Project
Na(Pr2Se3)4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na is bonded to eight Se atoms to form distorted NaSe8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with eight equivalent PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, and faces with eight PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are four shorter (3.05 Å) and four longer (3.29 Å) Na–Se bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Pr sites. In the first Pr site, Pr is bonded to eight Se atoms to form distorted PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent NaSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with six PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, a faceface with one NaSe8 hexagonal bipyramid, and faces with seven PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Pr–Se bond distances ranging from 3.00–3.25 Å. In the second Pr site, Pr is bonded to eight Se atoms to form distorted PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with eight PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent NaSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, and faces with eight PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Pr–Se bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.22 Å. In the third Pr site, Pr is bonded to eight Se atoms to form distorted PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with eight PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, faces with two equivalent NaSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, and faces with six PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Pr–Se bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.25 Å. There are three inequivalent Se sites. In the first Se site, Se is bonded to one Na and five Pr atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing SeNaPr5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 14–52°. In the second Se site, Se is bonded to one Na and five Pr atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing SeNaPr5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 19–50°. In the third Se site, Se is bonded to six Pr atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing SePr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 16–52°.
