Materials Data on CuSeS by Materials Project

Abstract

CuSeS is Pyrite-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic P2_13 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu3+ is bonded to three equivalent Se1- and three equivalent S2- atoms to form CuSe3S3 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CuSe3S3 octahedra, corners with three equivalent SeCu3S tetrahedra, and corners with three equivalent SCu3Se tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 65–66°. All Cu–Se bond lengths are 2.56 Å. All Cu–S bond lengths are 2.49 Å. Se1- is bonded to three equivalent Cu3+ and one S2- atom to form SeCu3S tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent CuSe3S3 octahedra, corners with six equivalent SeCu3S tetrahedra, and corners with nine equivalent SCu3Se tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 76°. The Se–S bond length is 2.22 Å. S2- is bonded to three equivalent Cu3+ and one Se1- atom to form distorted SCu3Se tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent CuSe3S3 octahedra, corners with six equivalent SCu3Se tetrahedra, and corners with nine equivalent SeCu3S tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 75°.
