Abstract

Cu(TeO3)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu2+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.54 Å. There are four inequivalent Te+5.50+ sites. In the first Te+5.50+ site, Te+5.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 32–40°. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.05 Å. In the second Te+5.50+ site, Te+5.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 35–42°. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.06 Å. In the third Te+5.50+ site, Te+5.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 32–42°. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.03 Å. In the fourth Te+5.50+ site, Te+5.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 33–41°. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.05 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cu2+ and two Te+5.50+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Te+5.50+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Te+5.50+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cu2+ and two Te+5.50+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Te+5.50+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Te+5.50+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cu2+ and two Te+5.50+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cu2+ and two Te+5.50+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and two Te+5.50+ atoms. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Te+5.50+ atoms. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Cu2+ and two Te+5.50+ atoms. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Te+5.50+ atoms.
