Materials Data on La2(TlSn)3 by Materials Project
Abstract
La2(TlSn)3 is beta Cu3Ti-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded to six Tl and six Sn atoms to form LaTl6Sn6 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent LaTl6Sn6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve TlLa4Tl4Sn4 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve SnLa4Tl6Sn2 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent LaTl6Sn6 cuboctahedra, faces with six TlLa4Tl4Sn4 cuboctahedra, and faces with six SnLa4Tl6Sn2 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of La–Tl bond distances ranging from 3.38–3.49 Å. There are two shorter (3.38 Å) and four longer (3.45 Å) La–Sn bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Tl sites. In the first Tl site, Tl is bonded to four equivalent La, four equivalent Tl, and four equivalent Sn atoms to form distorted TlLa4Tl4Sn4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent TlLa4Tl4Sn4 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent SnLa4Tl4Sn4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent LaTl6Sn6 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent TlLa4Sn8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent SnLa4Tl6Sn2 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent LaTl6Sn6 cuboctahedra, faces with six SnLa4Tl6Sn2 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight TlLa4Tl4Sn4 cuboctahedra. All Tl–Tl bond lengths are 3.45 Å. All Tl–Sn bond lengths are 3.47 Å. In the second Tl site, Tl is bonded to four equivalent La and eightmore »
