Materials Data on Sr3TeO6 by Materials Project
Sr3TeO6 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 27–30°. There are three shorter (2.40 Å) and three longer (2.49 Å) Sr–O bond lengths. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.56 Å) and three longer (2.73 Å) Sr–O bond lengths. In the third Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.50 Å) and three longer (2.81 Å) Sr–O bond lengths. Te6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 27–30°. All Te–O bond lengths are 1.96 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one Te6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one Te6+ atom.
