Materials Data on PrTl(PSe3)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

PrTl(PSe3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pr3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–Se bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.46 Å. Tl1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–Se bond distances ranging from 3.33–3.78 Å. There are two inequivalent P4+ sites. In the first P4+ site, P4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Se2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.21 Å) and two longer (2.23 Å) P–Se bond lengths. In the second P4+ site, P4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Se2- atoms. There are a spread of P–Se bond distances ranging from 2.19–2.22 Å. There are six inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pr3+, one Tl1+, and one P4+ atom. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pr3+, two equivalent Tl1+, and one P4+ atom. In the third Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Pr3+, two equivalent Tl1+, and one P4+ atom. In the fourth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pr3+, one Tl1+, and one P4+ atom. In the fifth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pr3+ and one P4+ atom. In the sixth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Pr3+, two equivalent Tl1+, and one P4+ atom.
