Materials Data on Rb2Te3 by Materials Project
Rb2Te3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Te atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Te bond distances ranging from 3.69–4.07 Å. There are three inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rb and one Te atom. The Te–Te bond length is 2.88 Å. In the second Te site, Te is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rb and one Te atom. The Te–Te bond length is 2.88 Å. In the third Te site, Te is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb and two Te atoms.
