Materials Data on TeO3 by Materials Project

Abstract

TeO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Te6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 38–39°. There is two shorter (1.94 Å) and four longer (1.95 Å) Te–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Te6+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Te6+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Te6+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Te6+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Te6+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Te6+ atoms.
