Materials Data on Te(HO2)2 by Materials Project
Te(HO2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Te(HO2)2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. Te6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 44°. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–1.97 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Te6+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one H1+ and one Te6+ atom.
