Materials Data on TlSn3 by Materials Project

Abstract

TlSn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tl is bonded to twelve Sn atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing TlSn12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.36 Å) and six longer (3.57 Å) Tl–Sn bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tl and eight Sn atoms. There are two shorter (3.24 Å) and six longer (3.49 Å) Sn–Sn bond lengths. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tl and eight Sn atoms. All Sn–Sn bond lengths are 3.49 Å. In the third Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tl and eight Sn atoms. Both Sn–Sn bond lengths are 3.49 Å.
