Abstract
Er7Cu3Te12 is Corundum-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Er3+ sites. In the first Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form ErTe6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one ErTe6 octahedra, corners with three CuTe4 tetrahedra, and edges with seven ErTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. There are a spread of Er–Te bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.10 Å. In the second Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form ErTe6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one ErTe6 octahedra, corners with three CuTe4 tetrahedra, edges with seven ErTe6 octahedra, and edges with three CuTe4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. There are a spread of Er–Te bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.12 Å. In the third Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ErTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–3°. There are a spread of Er–Te bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.10 Å. In the fourth Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form ErTe6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one ErTe6more »
