Materials Data on AgTe2Au by Materials Project
AuTeAgTe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmma space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of one AgTe ribbon oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and one AuTe ribbon oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the AgTe ribbon, Ag1+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Te2- atoms. Both Ag–Te bond lengths are 2.72 Å. Te2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ag1+ atoms. In the AuTe ribbon, Au3+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Te2- atoms. Both Au–Te bond lengths are 2.71 Å. Te2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Au3+ atoms.
