Title: Materials Data on Cs4Sn2Te7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Cs4Sn2Te7 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cs1+ sites. In the first Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Te+1.14- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–Te bond distances ranging from 3.93–4.31 Å. In the second Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Te+1.14- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–Te bond distances ranging from 3.95–4.26 Å. Sn2+ is bonded to four Te+1.14- atoms to form corner-sharing SnTe4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Sn–Te bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.87 Å. There are four inequivalent Te+1.14- sites. In the first Te+1.14- site, Te+1.14- is bonded to five Cs1+ and one Sn2+ atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing TeCs5Sn octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 15°. In the second Te+1.14- site, Te+1.14- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five Cs1+ and one Sn2+ atom. In the third Te+1.14- site, Te+1.14- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Cs1+, one Sn2+, and one Te+1.14- atom. The Te–Te bond length is 2.76 Å. In the fourth Te+1.14- site, Te+1.14- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Cs1+ and twomore » equivalent Sn2+ atoms.« less
