In the title 2212-type superconductor (thallium mercury calcium barium strontium copper oxide), which contains both Tl and Hg in the charge reservoir (CR), Sr is located at both alkali-earth (AE) metal sites. Ca enters the CR at the same time as Tl shares the smaller AE site, which increases the apical Cu-Cu distance significantly. The structure causes the superconducting Cu-O layers to become significantly puckered.
