Materials Data on ZrTcCl by Materials Project

Abstract

ZrTcCl is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr4+ is bonded to four equivalent Cl1- atoms to form distorted ZrCl4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent TcCl4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent ZrCl4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent TcCl4 tetrahedra. All Zr–Cl bond lengths are 2.59 Å. Tc3- is bonded to four equivalent Cl1- atoms to form distorted TcCl4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent ZrCl4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent TcCl4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent ZrCl4 tetrahedra. All Tc–Cl bond lengths are 2.59 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Zr4+ and four equivalent Tc3- atoms.
