Materials Data on K2TcI6 by Materials Project
K2TcI6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight I1- atoms. There are a spread of K–I bond distances ranging from 3.65–4.03 Å. Tc4+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six I1- atoms. All Tc–I bond lengths are 2.76 Å. There are three inequivalent I1- sites. In the first I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent K1+ and one Tc4+ atom. In the second I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+ and one Tc4+ atom. In the third I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent K1+ and one Tc4+ atom.
