Materials Data on Ta4SeS by Materials Project

Abstract

Ta2SeTa2S crystallizes in the tetragonal P4mm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Ta2S sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and one Ta2Se sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the Ta2S sheet, there are two inequivalent Ta sites. In the first Ta site, Ta is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S atoms. All Ta–S bond lengths are 2.56 Å. In the second Ta site, Ta is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one S atom. The Ta–S bond length is 2.66 Å. S is bonded in a distorted pentagonal planar geometry to five Ta atoms. In the Ta2Se sheet, there are two inequivalent Ta sites. In the first Ta site, Ta is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Se atoms. All Ta–Se bond lengths are 2.69 Å. In the second Ta site, Ta is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Se atom. The Ta–Se bond length is 2.91 Å. Se is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Ta atoms.
