Materials Data on BiTeI by Materials Project
BiTeI is Calaverite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Bi3+ is bonded to three equivalent Te2- and three equivalent I1- atoms to form edge-sharing BiTe3I3 octahedra. All Bi–Te bond lengths are 3.07 Å. All Bi–I bond lengths are 3.30 Å. Te2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Bi3+ and three equivalent I1- atoms. All Te–I bond lengths are 4.41 Å. I1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Bi3+ and three equivalent Te2- atoms.
