Abstract

Na3CuSnSe4 is monoclinic, mP36, s.g. P21/n (No. 14), Z=4 with a=6.805(5)Ä, b=10.226(2)Ä, c=13.03(1)Ä, ß=90.39(4)?. The crystal structure was determined from diffractometer data obtained at 294K and refined to a conventional R of 0.039 (1384 Fo's, 83 variables). It is characterized by the formation of open anionic layers 2-oo-[CuSnSe4](3-) built up by corner sharing [Se2CuSe2SnSe2]-bitetrahedra. Average bond distances are: Sn-Se=2.517Ä; Cu-Se=2.518Ä. The atomic arrangement is related to that of Ca3Al2As4.
