Title: Materials Data on NaCu3Te2 by Materials Project

Abstract

NaCu3Te2 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form NaTe6 octahedra that share corners with nine equivalent CuTe4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent NaTe6 octahedra, and a faceface with one CuTe4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (3.14 Å) and three longer (3.27 Å) Na–Te bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cu1+ and four Te2- atoms. All Cu–Cu bond lengths are 2.51 Å. There are one shorter (2.52 Å) and three longer (2.84 Å) Cu–Te bond lengths. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four Te2- atoms to form CuTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with nine equivalent NaTe6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent CuTe4 tetrahedra, and a faceface with one NaTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–52°. There are three shorter (2.73 Å) and one longer (2.77 Å) Cu–Te bond lengths. In the third Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to three equivalent Cu1+ and three equivalent Te2- atoms. All Cu–Te bond lengths are 2.69 Å. There are two inequivalent Te2- sites.more » In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Na1+ and four Cu1+ atoms. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Na1+ and seven Cu1+ atoms.« less
