Title: Materials Data on NbCu3(TeSe)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

NbCu3(TeSe)2 is Sulvanite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb5+ is bonded to two equivalent Te2- and two equivalent Se2- atoms to form NbTe2Se2 tetrahedra that share edges with six CuTe2Se2 tetrahedra. Both Nb–Te bond lengths are 2.67 Å. Both Nb–Se bond lengths are 2.47 Å. There are two inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to two equivalent Te2- and two equivalent Se2- atoms to form CuTe2Se2 tetrahedra that share corners with eight CuTe2Se2 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent NbTe2Se2 tetrahedra. Both Cu–Te bond lengths are 2.63 Å. Both Cu–Se bond lengths are 2.47 Å. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to two equivalent Te2- and two equivalent Se2- atoms to form CuTe2Se2 tetrahedra that share corners with eight equivalent CuTe2Se2 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent NbTe2Se2 tetrahedra. Both Cu–Te bond lengths are 2.61 Å. Both Cu–Se bond lengths are 2.48 Å. Te2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Nb5+ and three Cu1+ atoms. Se2- is bonded to one Nb5+ and three Cu1+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SeNbCu3 tetrahedra.
