Materials Data on Fe3TeO8 by Materials Project
Fe3TeO8 is Rutile-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TeO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one TeO6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.07 Å. Te is bonded to six O atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent FeO6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°. There is three shorter (1.95 Å) and three longer (1.98 Å) Te–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Fe and one Te atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Fe and one Te atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Fe atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Fe atoms.
