Materials Data on Ta3SiTe6 by Materials Project
Abstract
Ta3SiTe6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Ta3SiTe6 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are three inequivalent Ta5+ sites. In the first Ta5+ site, Ta5+ is bonded to one Si4- and six Te+1.83- atoms to form distorted TaSiTe6 pentagonal bipyramids that share an edgeedge with one SiTa4Te4 hexagonal bipyramid, edges with four TaSiTe6 pentagonal bipyramids, and a faceface with one TaSiTe6 pentagonal bipyramid. The Ta–Si bond length is 2.84 Å. There are a spread of Ta–Te bond distances ranging from 2.80–2.88 Å. In the second Ta5+ site, Ta5+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Si4- and six Te+1.83- atoms. There are one shorter (2.83 Å) and one longer (2.84 Å) Ta–Si bond lengths. There are a spread of Ta–Te bond distances ranging from 2.83–2.95 Å. In the third Ta5+ site, Ta5+ is bonded to one Si4- and six Te+1.83- atoms to form distorted TaSiTe6 pentagonal bipyramids that share edges with two equivalent SiTa4Te4 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent TaSiTe6 pentagonal bipyramids, and a faceface with one TaSiTe6 pentagonal bipyramid. The Ta–Si bond length is 2.73 Å. There are a spread of Ta–Te bond distancesmore »
