Materials Data on Tl(CuS)2 by Materials Project
TlCu2S2 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu+1.50+ is bonded to four equivalent S2- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CuS4 tetrahedra. All Cu–S bond lengths are 2.35 Å. Tl1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent S2- atoms. All Tl–S bond lengths are 3.35 Å. S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cu+1.50+ and four equivalent Tl1+ atoms.
