Materials Data on Cu6Hg3(SbS3)4 by Materials Project
Cu6Hg3(SbS3)4 crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form CuS4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent HgS4 tetrahedra and corners with five CuS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–S bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.33 Å. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form CuS4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent HgS4 tetrahedra and corners with five CuS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–S bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.37 Å. Hg2+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form HgS4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent HgS4 tetrahedra and corners with six CuS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Hg–S bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.64 Å. There are two inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three S2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–S bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.52 Å. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent S2- atoms. All Sb–S bond lengths are 2.49 Å. There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to two equivalent Cu1+, one Hg2+, and one Sb3+ atom to form corner-sharing SCu2HgSb tetrahedra. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to one Cu1+, two equivalent Hg2+, and one Sb3+ atom to form corner-sharing SCuHg2Sb tetrahedra. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded to two Cu1+, one Hg2+, and one Sb3+ atom to form corner-sharing SCu2HgSb tetrahedra. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Cu1+ and one Sb3+ atom to form corner-sharing SCu3Sb tetrahedra.
