Materials Data on NbCu3(SeS)2 by Materials Project
NbCu3(SeS)2 is Stannite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb5+ is bonded to two equivalent Se2- and two equivalent S2- atoms to form NbSe2S2 tetrahedra that share edges with six CuSe2S2 tetrahedra. Both Nb–Se bond lengths are 2.46 Å. Both Nb–S bond lengths are 2.34 Å. There are two inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to two equivalent Se2- and two equivalent S2- atoms to form CuSe2S2 tetrahedra that share corners with eight CuSe2S2 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent NbSe2S2 tetrahedra. Both Cu–Se bond lengths are 2.51 Å. Both Cu–S bond lengths are 2.34 Å. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to two equivalent Se2- and two equivalent S2- atoms to form CuSe2S2 tetrahedra that share corners with eight equivalent CuSe2S2 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent NbSe2S2 tetrahedra. Both Cu–Se bond lengths are 2.48 Å. Both Cu–S bond lengths are 2.36 Å. Se2- is bonded to one Nb5+ and three Cu1+ atoms to form distorted SeNbCu3 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent SeNbCu3 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent SNbCu3 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one SeNbCu3 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent SNbCu3 tetrahedra. S2- is bonded to one Nb5+ and three Cu1+ atoms to form distorted SNbCu3 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent SNbCu3 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent SeNbCu3 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one SNbCu3 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent SeNbCu3 tetrahedra.
