Materials Data on TlCdTe2 by Materials Project
CdTlTe2 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cd2+ is bonded to six equivalent Te+1.50- atoms to form CdTe6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent TlTe6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent CdTe6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent TlTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. All Cd–Te bond lengths are 3.05 Å. Tl1+ is bonded to six equivalent Te+1.50- atoms to form TlTe6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CdTe6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent TlTe6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent CdTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. All Tl–Te bond lengths are 3.29 Å. Te+1.50- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cd2+ and three equivalent Tl1+ atoms.
