Materials Data on KTeAu by Materials Project
KAuTe crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded to six equivalent Au1+ and six equivalent Te2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing KTe6Au6 cuboctahedra. All K–Au bond lengths are 3.73 Å. All K–Te bond lengths are 3.73 Å. Au1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent K1+ and three equivalent Te2- atoms. All Au–Te bond lengths are 2.75 Å. Te2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent K1+ and three equivalent Au1+ atoms.
