Title: Materials Data on Ti3Cu2Te(PO4)6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ti3Cu2Te(PO4)6 crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.94 Å) and three longer (2.02 Å) Ti–O bond length. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.91 Å) and three longer (1.97 Å) Ti–O bond length. In the third Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.95 Å) and three longer (2.01 Å) Ti–O bond length. There are two inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.23 Å) and three longer (2.39 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.34 Å) and three longer (2.42 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. There are twomore » inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one TeO6 octahedra and corners with three TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 21–46°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.56 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one TeO6 octahedra and corners with three TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 18–42°. There is one shorter (1.54 Å) and three longer (1.55 Å) P–O bond length. Te4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.09 Å) and three longer (2.18 Å) Te–O bond lengths. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ti4+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ti4+, one Cu1+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one P5+ and one Te4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ti4+, one Cu1+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ti4+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Cu1+, one P5+, and one Te4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ti4+, one Cu1+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ti4+ and one P5+ atom.« less
