Materials Data on CsCoCuF6 by Materials Project

Abstract

CsCoCuF6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form CsF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoF6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent CuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 68–70°. There are a spread of Cs–F bond distances ranging from 3.15–3.20 Å. Co3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form CoF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CoF6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CuF6 octahedra, and corners with six equivalent CsF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–68°. There is two shorter (1.96 Å) and four longer (1.98 Å) Co–F bond length. Cu2+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form CuF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuF6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CoF6 octahedra, and corners with six equivalent CsF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–70°. There is four shorter (1.96 Å) and two longer (2.00 Å) Cu–F bond length. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+ and two equivalent Co3+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+ and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+, one Co3+, and one Cu2+ atom.
