Title: Materials Data on Sb8Te7 by Materials Project

Abstract

(Sb)6Sb4Te3(Sb2Te3)4(SbTe)6 is Calaverite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of six antimony molecules; four Sb2Te3 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction; one Sb4Te3 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction; and two SbTe sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each Sb2Te3 sheet, there are two inequivalent Sb+1.75+ sites. In the first Sb+1.75+ site, Sb+1.75+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SbTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are three shorter (3.03 Ã…) and three longer (3.19 Ã…) Sb–Te bond lengths. In the second Sb+1.75+ site, Sb+1.75+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SbTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are three shorter (3.03 Ã…) and three longer (3.18 Ã…) Sb–Te bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Te2- sites. In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Sb+1.75+ atoms. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded to six Sb+1.75+ atoms to form edge-sharing TeSb6 octahedra. In the third Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in amore » 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sb+1.75+ atoms. In the Sb4Te3 sheet, there are two inequivalent Sb+1.75+ sites. In the first Sb+1.75+ site, Sb+1.75+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Te2- atoms. All Sb–Te bond lengths are 3.59 Ã…. In the second Sb+1.75+ site, Sb+1.75+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SbTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are three shorter (3.03 Ã…) and three longer (3.18 Ã…) Sb–Te bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Te2- sites. In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Sb+1.75+ atoms. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded to six equivalent Sb+1.75+ atoms to form edge-sharing TeSb6 octahedra. In each SbTe sheet, there are three inequivalent Sb+1.75+ sites. In the first Sb+1.75+ site, Sb+1.75+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Te2- atoms. All Sb–Te bond lengths are 3.63 Ã…. In the second Sb+1.75+ site, Sb+1.75+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SbTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are three shorter (3.02 Ã…) and three longer (3.19 Ã…) Sb–Te bond lengths. In the third Sb+1.75+ site, Sb+1.75+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SbTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are three shorter (3.03 Ã…) and three longer (3.18 Ã…) Sb–Te bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Te2- sites. In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Sb+1.75+ atoms. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded to six Sb+1.75+ atoms to form edge-sharing TeSb6 octahedra.
