Materials Data on RbTe by Materials Project

Abstract

RbTe crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Te1- atoms. There are two shorter (3.78 Å) and four longer (3.82 Å) Rb–Te bond lengths. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Te1- atoms. There are four shorter (3.72 Å) and two longer (3.76 Å) Rb–Te bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Te1- sites. In the first Te1- site, Te1- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six Rb1+ and one Te1- atom. The Te–Te bond length is 2.84 Å. In the second Te1- site, Te1- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six Rb1+ and one Te1- atom. The Te–Te bond length is 2.82 Å.
