Materials Data on Tl5BrCl4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Tl5BrCl4 is Heusler-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Tl1+ sites. In the first Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Cl1- atoms. There are four shorter (3.40 Å) and four longer (3.41 Å) Tl–Cl bond lengths. In the second Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent Br1- and six Cl1- atoms. Both Tl–Br bond lengths are 3.45 Å. There are two shorter (3.37 Å) and four longer (3.41 Å) Tl–Cl bond lengths. In the third Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Br1- and four equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Tl–Br bond lengths are 3.41 Å. All Tl–Cl bond lengths are 3.42 Å. Br1- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Tl1+ atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Tl1+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Tl1+ atoms.
