Materials Data on Li3Te by Materials Project
Li3Te crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Te atoms. There are two shorter (2.90 Å) and two longer (3.12 Å) Li–Te bond lengths. Te is bonded to twelve equivalent Li atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing TeLi12 cuboctahedra.
