Title: Materials Data on KZrCuTe3 by Materials Project

Abstract

KCuZrTe3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Te2- atoms. There are a spread of K–Te bond distances ranging from 3.59–3.98 Å. Zr4+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form ZrTe6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZrTe6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent ZrTe6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent CuTe4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 42°. There are a spread of Zr–Te bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.14 Å. Cu1+ is bonded to four Te2- atoms to form CuTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuTe4 tetrahedra and edges with four equivalent ZrTe6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cu–Te bond distances ranging from 2.59–2.68 Å. There are three inequivalent Te2- sites. In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent K1+, two equivalent Zr4+, and one Cu1+ atom. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent K1+, two equivalent Zr4+, and one Cu1+ atom. In the third Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, two equivalent Zr4+, and two equivalent Cu1+ atoms.
