Materials Data on K2Tc by Materials Project
K2Tc crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent K sites. In the first K site, K is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K and five Tc atoms. Both K–K bond lengths are 2.83 Å. There are four shorter (3.76 Å) and one longer (3.88 Å) K–Tc bond lengths. In the second K site, K is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K and five Tc atoms. Both K–K bond lengths are 2.83 Å. There are a spread of K–Tc bond distances ranging from 3.74–3.79 Å. In the third K site, K is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K and four Tc atoms. Both K–K bond lengths are 2.83 Å. All K–Tc bond lengths are 3.67 Å. In the fourth K site, K is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K and four Tc atoms. Both K–K bond lengths are 2.83 Å. There are a spread of K–Tc bond distances ranging from 3.66–3.74 Å. There are two inequivalent Tc sites. In the first Tc site, Tc is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to nine K and two equivalent Tc atoms. Both Tc–Tc bond lengths are 2.83 Å. In the second Tc site, Tc is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to nine K and two equivalent Tc atoms. Both Tc–Tc bond lengths are 2.83 Å.
