Materials Data on TaSiTc2 by Materials Project
TaTc2Si crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two TaTc2Si ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Ta5+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Tc+0.50- atoms. Both Ta–Tc bond lengths are 2.25 Å. Tc+0.50- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Ta5+ and one Si4- atom. The Tc–Si bond length is 2.31 Å. Si4- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Tc+0.50- atoms.
