Title: Materials Data on Cu6Hg3(AsS3)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Cu6Hg3(AsS3)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 2.28–2.39 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 2.56–2.62 Å. There are two inequivalent As3+ sites. In the first As3+ site, As3+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three S2- atoms. There are a spread of As–S bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.36 Å. In the second As3+ site, As3+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent S2- atoms. All As–S bond lengths are 2.32 Å.more » There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Cu1+ and one As3+ atom to form corner-sharing SCu3As tetrahedra. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to two Cu1+, one Hg2+, and one As3+ atom to form corner-sharing SCu2HgAs tetrahedra. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded to one Cu1+, two equivalent Hg2+, and one As3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing SCuHg2As tetrahedra. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded to two equivalent Cu1+, one Hg2+, and one As3+ atom to form corner-sharing SCu2HgAs tetrahedra.« less
