Materials Data on K2HgTe by Materials Project
K2HgTe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two K2HgTe ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. K is bonded in a linear geometry to one Hg and one Te atom. The K–Hg bond length is 3.89 Å. The K–Te bond length is 3.06 Å. Hg is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent K atoms. Te is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent K atoms.
