Title: Materials Data on Er3Tl2Cu5S8 by Materials Project

Abstract

Er3Cu5Tl2S8 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Er3+ sites. In the first Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form ErS6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one ErS6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra, edges with four ErS6 octahedra, and edges with five CuS4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 33°. There are a spread of Er–S bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.77 Å. In the second Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form ErS6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one ErS6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra, edges with four ErS6 octahedra, and edges with five CuS4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 27°. There are a spread of Er–S bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.77 Å. In the third Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form ErS6 octahedra that share corners with two ErS6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent ErS6 octahedra, and edges with four CuS4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 27–33°. There are a spread of Er–S bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.80 Å. There are five inequivalent Cu1+ sites.

The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 13–59°. There are a spread of Cu–S bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.51 Å. There are two inequivalent Tl1+ sites. In the first Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Cu1+ and five S2- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–S bond distances ranging from 3.07–3.40 Å. In the second Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven S2- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–S bond distances ranging from 3.16–3.45 Å. There are eight inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er3+ and three Cu1+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two Er3+, two equivalent Cu1+, and two equivalent Tl1+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er3+, three Cu1+, and two equivalent Tl1+ atoms. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er3+, two Cu1+, and two equivalent Tl1+ atoms. In the fifth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two Er3+, two equivalent Cu1+, and two equivalent Tl1+ atoms. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er3+, three Cu1+, and two equivalent Tl1+ atoms. In the seventh S2- site, S2- is bonded to three Er3+, two equivalent Cu1+, and one Tl1+ atom to form distorted edge-sharing SEr3TlCu2 octahedra.
