(K)2KYI6 is High-temperature superconductor-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure consists of eight 7440-09-7 atoms inside a KYI6 framework. In the KYI6 framework, K(2) is bonded to six equivalent I(1) atoms to form KI6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Y(1)I6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent I(1) atoms to form YI6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent K(2)I6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. I(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one K(2) and one Y(1) atom.
