Materials Data on Co2(SnTe)3 by Materials Project
Co2(SnTe)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded to three Sn and three Te atoms to form corner-sharing CoSn3Te3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–55°. There are two shorter (2.54 Å) and one longer (2.56 Å) Co–Sn bond lengths. There are a spread of Co–Te bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.57 Å. In the second Co site, Co is bonded to three equivalent Sn and three equivalent Te atoms to form corner-sharing CoSn3Te3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–55°. All Co–Sn bond lengths are 2.56 Å. All Co–Te bond lengths are 2.54 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Co and two equivalent Te atoms. There are one shorter (2.96 Å) and one longer (3.14 Å) Sn–Te bond lengths. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co and two equivalent Te atoms. There are one shorter (2.97 Å) and one longer (3.13 Å) Sn–Te bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co and two equivalent Sn atoms. In the second Te site, Te is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Co and two equivalent Sn atoms.
