Title: Materials Data on Zr3(CuSi)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Zr3Cu4Si4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Zr4+ sites. In the first Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Si4- atoms. There are four shorter (2.84 Å) and two longer (2.88 Å) Zr–Si bond lengths. In the second Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded to six Si4- atoms to form edge-sharing ZrSi6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.80 Å) and two longer (2.84 Å) Zr–Si bond lengths. Cu1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Cu1+ and four Si4- atoms. The Cu–Cu bond length is 2.46 Å. There are a spread of Cu–Si bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.48 Å. There are two inequivalent Si4- sites. In the first Si4- site, Si4- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Zr4+, two equivalent Cu1+, and one Si4- atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.45 Å. In the second Si4- site, Si4- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three Zr4+ and six equivalent Cu1+ atoms.
