Materials Data on Co2CuS4 by Materials Project
CuCo2S4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Co3+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form CoS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent CoS6 octahedra. All Co–S bond lengths are 2.25 Å. Cu2+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form CuS4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CoS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. All Cu–S bond lengths are 2.26 Å. S2- is bonded to three equivalent Co3+ and one Cu2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SCo3Cu trigonal pyramids.
