Materials Data on CdHg3Te4 by Materials Project
Hg3CdTe4 is Lavarevi\'{c}ite structured and crystallizes in the cubic P-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hg2+ is bonded to four equivalent Te2- atoms to form HgTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CdTe4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent HgTe4 tetrahedra. All Hg–Te bond lengths are 2.89 Å. Cd2+ is bonded to four equivalent Te2- atoms to form CdTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent HgTe4 tetrahedra. All Cd–Te bond lengths are 2.88 Å. Te2- is bonded to three equivalent Hg2+ and one Cd2+ atom to form corner-sharing TeCdHg3 tetrahedra.
