Materials Data on U3Te4 by Materials Project
U3Te4 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U is bonded to eight equivalent Te atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing UTe8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are four shorter (3.16 Å) and four longer (3.27 Å) U–Te bond lengths. Te is bonded to six equivalent U atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing TeU6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 16–50°.
