Materials Data on K2SnTe5 by Materials Project

K2SnTe5 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Te+0.80- atoms. There are four shorter (3.82 Å) and four longer (3.83 Å) K–Te bond lengths. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Te+0.80- atoms. All K–Te bond lengths are 3.64 Å. Sn2+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four Te+0.80- atoms. All Sn–Te bond lengths are 2.82 Å. There are three inequivalent Te+0.80- sites. In the first Te+0.80- site, Te+0.80- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four K1+, one Sn2+, and one Te+0.80- atom. The Te–Te bond length is 3.05 Å. In the second Te+0.80- site, Te+0.80- is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four Te+0.80- atoms. Both Te–Te bond lengths are 3.07 Å. In the third Te+0.80- site, Te+0.80- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four K1+, one Sn2+, and one Te+0.80- atom.

Materials Data on K2SnTe3 by Materials Project

K2SnTe3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Te2- atoms. There are a spread of K–Te bond distances ranging from 3.62–3.76 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Te2- atoms. There are a spread of K–Te bond distances ranging from 3.57–3.79 Å. Sn4+ is bonded to four Te2- atoms to form edge-sharing SnTe4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.78 Å) and two longer (2.88 Å) Sn–Te bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Te2- sites. In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K1+ and two equivalent Sn4+ atoms. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to five K1+ and one Sn4+ atom.
