Other compounds with this structure

Tl(V$_{1-x}$Cr$_{x}$)$_{5}$Se$_{8}$,  CsCr$_{5}$S$_{8}$


  • The chromium atoms may be replaced with arbitrary amounts of vanadium. We used the data for the stoichiometric compound.
  • The data for CsCr$_{5}$S$_{8}$ was taken much earlier, and so it could be used as the prototype, but the data for TlCr$_{5}$Se$_{8}$ is more accessible.
  • There is no ICSD or CCDC entry for (Maier, 2015), so we link to the earlier work of (Bensch, 1994).
