Materials Data on Tl2Te3 by Materials Project
Tl2Te3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tl3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Te2- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–Te bond distances ranging from 3.46–3.70 Å. There are two inequivalent Te2- sites. In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tl3+ and three Te2- atoms. There are a spread of Te–Te bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.62 Å. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tl3+ and four equivalent Te2- atoms.
