Materials Data on MnCu(Te2O5)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

MnCu(Te2O5)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/nbc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mn2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.23 Å) and four longer (2.47 Å) Mn–O bond lengths. Cu2+ is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.01 Å) and two longer (2.61 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. Te4+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.23 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mn2+ and two equivalent Te4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Mn2+, one Cu2+, and one Te4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cu2+ and two equivalent Te4+ atoms.
