  • The common prototype for this structure is Eu$_{2}$CuS$_{3}$, but there are as many quaternary compounds with this structure as there are ternaries. To readily accommodate both classes we must have a quaternary prototype, and we arbitrarily chose SrCuYSe$_{3}$ as the representative. The tenary case can be obtained by changing the Cu and Sr labels to the same element in the prototype generator below.
