Materials Data on TeN2 by Materials Project
N2Te is beta Vanadium nitride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Te6+ atoms. There are one shorter (2.04 Å) and two longer (2.08 Å) N–Te bond lengths. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Te6+ atoms. There are a spread of N–Te bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.08 Å. Te6+ is bonded to six N3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TeN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 28°.
