Materials Data on Rb2(TcSe2)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb2(TcSe2)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Se bond distances ranging from 3.44–3.72 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Se bond distances ranging from 3.40–3.72 Å. In the third Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Se bond distances ranging from 3.34–3.96 Å. There are three inequivalent Tc+3.33+ sites. In the first Tc+3.33+ site, Tc+3.33+ is bonded to five Se2- atoms to form edge-sharing TcSe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Tc–Se bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.66 Å. In the second Tc+3.33+ site, Tc+3.33+ is bonded to five Se2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing TcSe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Tc–Se bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.68 Å. In the third Tc+3.33+ site, Tc+3.33+ is bonded to five Se2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing TcSe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Tc–Se bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.68 Å. There are six inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Rb1+ and three Tc+3.33+ atoms. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and three Tc+3.33+ atoms. In the third Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two Rb1+ and three Tc+3.33+ atoms. In the fourth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four Rb1+ and three Tc+3.33+ atoms. In the fifth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Rb1+, one Tc+3.33+, and one Se2- atom. The Se–Se bond length is 2.47 Å. In the sixth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Rb1+ and two Tc+3.33+ atoms.
