Materials Data on K4Zn2Sn21 by Materials Project
Abstract
K4Zn2Sn21 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ama2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent K sites. In the first K site, K is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Sn atoms. There are a spread of K–Sn bond distances ranging from 4.08–4.19 Å. In the second K site, K is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Sn atoms. There are a spread of K–Sn bond distances ranging from 4.09–4.18 Å. In the third K site, K is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Sn atoms. There are a spread of K–Sn bond distances ranging from 4.08–4.18 Å. In the fourth K site, K is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve Sn atoms. There are a spread of K–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.86–4.05 Å. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded to four Sn atoms to form ZnSn4 tetrahedra that share corners with eight SnKSn4 trigonal bipyramids. There are two shorter (2.77 Å) and two longer (2.78 Å) Zn–Sn bond lengths. In the second Zn site, Zn is bonded to four Sn atoms to form ZnSn4 tetrahedra that share corners with eight SnKSn4 trigonal bipyramids. There aremore »
