Materials Data on Cs4Pb9 by Materials Project

Abstract

Cs4Pb9 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Cs sites. In the first Cs site, Cs is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Pb atoms. There are a spread of Cs–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.94–4.26 Å. In the second Cs site, Cs is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Pb atoms. There are a spread of Cs–Pb bond distances ranging from 4.17–4.47 Å. In the third Cs site, Cs is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to ten Pb atoms. There are a spread of Cs–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.98–4.61 Å. In the fourth Cs site, Cs is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to eight Pb atoms. There are a spread of Cs–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.99–4.65 Å. There are nine inequivalent Pb sites. In the first Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five Cs and four Pb atoms. There are a spread of Pb–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.16–3.21 Å. In the second Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four Cs and five Pb atoms. There are a spread of Pb–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.14–3.50 Å. In the third Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Cs and four Pb atoms. There are one shorter (3.21 Å) and one longer (3.24 Å) Pb–Pb bond lengths.
