Materials Data on Fe(CuS)2 by Materials Project

Fe(CuS)2 crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Fe2+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form FeS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent FeS4 tetrahedra, and edges with six CuS4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.32 Å) and one longer (2.35 Å) Fe–S bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form CuS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent FeS4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve CuS4 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent FeS4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.33 Å) and one longer (2.44 Å) Cu–S bond lengths. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form CuS4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve CuS4 tetrahedra and edges with three equivalent FeS4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (2.23 Å) and three longer (2.37 Å) Cu–S bond lengths. There are three inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Fe2+ and four Cu1+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Fe2+ and four equivalent Cu1+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Cu1+ atoms.

Continuity of reaction kinetics across the pressure and materials gaps in CO oxidation on FeO–Pt interfaces

Translating atomic-scale insights from surface science studies of model catalysts to practical powder catalysts remains a persistent challenge in heterogeneous catalysis. Here, in this study, we demonstrate mechanistic continuity across the pressure and materials gaps during CO oxidation at the FeO-Pt interface using in situ microscopy, spectroscopy and computational modelling. Under reaction conditions, coordinatively unsaturated Fe (Fe cus ) sites at the interface enable selective O 2 activation on CO-saturated surfaces, circumventing the CO-poisoning limitation of platinum-group metals. We identify parallel reaction pathways involving the *O 2 -*CO intermediate. Remarkably, activation energies remain consistent at 12-15 kJ mol −1 (0.12-0.16 eV) from ultrahigh vacuum to atmospheric pressures and from FeO/Pt(111) model catalysts to FeO/Pt powder catalysts, validating mechanistic insights derived from surface science studies. Our findings show an example of bridging the long-standing divide between model and practical catalyst systems, establishing an effective approach to capture catalytic behaviours under operational conditions and advancing mechanism-driven catalyst design.

Multifunctional Cu 2 TSiS 4 (T = Mn and Fe): Polar Semiconducting Antiferromagnets with Nonlinear Optical Properties

In this work, Cu 2 TSiS 4 (T = Mn and Fe) polycrystalline and single-crystal materials were prepared with high-temperature solid-state and chemical vapor transport methods, respectively. The polar crystal structure (space group Pmn2 1 ) consists of chains of corner-sharing and distorted CuS 4 , Mn/FeS 4 , and SiS 4 tetrahedra, which is confirmed by Rietveld refinement using neutron powder diffraction data, X-ray single-crystal refinement, electron diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and second harmonic generation (SHG) techniques. Magnetic measurements indicate that both compounds order antiferromagnetically at 8 and 14 K, respectively, which is supported by the temperature-dependent (100–2 K) neutron powder diffraction data. Additional magnetic reflections observed at 2 K can be modeled by magnetic propagation vectors k = (1/2,0,1/2) and k = (1/2,1/2,1/2) for Cu 2 MnSiS 4 and Cu 2 FeSiS 4 , respectively. The refined antiferromagnetic structure reveals that the Mn/Fe spins are canted away from the ac plane by about 14°, with the total magnetic moments of Mn and Fe being 4.1(1) and 2.9(1) μ B , respectively. Both compounds exhibit an SHG response with relatively modest second-order nonlinear susceptibilities. Density functional theory calculations are used to describe the electronic band structures.
