Materials Data on K2Cu3(SeO3)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

K2Cu3(SeO3)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.03 Å. There are two inequivalent Cu2+ sites. In the first Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.01 Å. In the second Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.44 Å. There are two inequivalent Se4+ sites. In the first Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.67–1.82 Å. In the second Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.73 Å) and two longer (1.74 Å) Se–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Cu2+, and one Se4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Cu2+ and one Se4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Cu2+, and one Se4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+ and one Se4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one K1+, one Cu2+, and one Se4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Cu2+ and one Se4+ atom.
