  • This is a ternary form of the $D1_{3}$ (BaAl$_{4}$) structure. It differs from the ThCr$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ structure in that here $c/a > 3$.
  • Other authors designate TlCu$_{2}$Se$_{2}$ or Cl(Li$_{0.25}$Be$_{0.75}$)$_{2}$O$_{2}$ as the prototype for this structure, but (Klepp, 1978) give complete structural information for TlCo$_{2}$S$_{2}$, so we use that as the prototype.
