Title: Materials Data on ZnFeCu4(GeS4)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

FeCu4Zn(GeS4)2 is Stannite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Fe2+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form FeS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four GeS4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra. All Fe–S bond lengths are 2.31 Å. Cu1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form CuS4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeS4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent ZnS4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra, and corners with four GeS4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.29 Å) and two longer (2.30 Å) Cu–S bond lengths. Zn2+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form ZnS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four GeS4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra. All Zn–S bond lengths are 2.37 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge4+ sites. In the first Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form GeS4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeS4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent ZnS4 tetrahedra, and corners with eight equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.30 Å) and two longer (2.31 Å) Ge–S bond lengths. In the second Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four S2- atomsmore » to form GeS4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeS4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent ZnS4 tetrahedra, and corners with eight equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.29 Å) and two longer (2.30 Å) Ge–S bond lengths. There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to one Fe2+, two equivalent Cu1+, and one Ge4+ atom to form corner-sharing SFeCu2Ge tetrahedra. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to two equivalent Cu1+, one Zn2+, and one Ge4+ atom to form corner-sharing SZnCu2Ge tetrahedra. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded to one Fe2+, two equivalent Cu1+, and one Ge4+ atom to form corner-sharing SFeCu2Ge tetrahedra. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded to two equivalent Cu1+, one Zn2+, and one Ge4+ atom to form corner-sharing SZnCu2Ge tetrahedra.« less
