Materials Data on TeNO4 by Materials Project

Abstract

NTeO4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of one NTeO4 ribbon oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. N is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.15 Å) and one longer (1.91 Å) N–O bond length. Te is bonded to five O atoms to form distorted edge-sharing TeO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.06 Å. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one N and one Te atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Te atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Te atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N atom.
