Materials Data on ZnTe6O13 by Materials Project

Abstract

ZnTe6O13 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zn2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.10 Å) and three longer (2.22 Å) Zn–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Te4+ sites. In the first Te4+ site, Te4+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.20 Å. In the second Te4+ site, Te4+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.59 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Te4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Te4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Te4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Zn2+ and two equivalent Te4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Zn2+ and two equivalent Te4+ atoms.
