Materials Data on HoCrTeO6 by Materials Project
HoCrTeO6 is beta Vanadium nitride-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-31c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form HoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CrO6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. All Ho–O bond lengths are 2.25 Å. Cr5+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent HoO6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–59°. All Cr–O bond lengths are 2.10 Å. Te4+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CrO6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent HoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 42°. All Te–O bond lengths are 1.97 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ho3+, one Cr5+, and one Te4+ atom.
