Materials Data on RbTe6 by Materials Project
RbTe6 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve Te+0.17- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Te bond distances ranging from 3.69–4.25 Å. There are three inequivalent Te+0.17- sites. In the first Te+0.17- site, Te+0.17- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and three Te+0.17- atoms. There are a spread of Te–Te bond distances ranging from 2.83–3.55 Å. In the second Te+0.17- site, Te+0.17- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and four Te+0.17- atoms. There are a spread of Te–Te bond distances ranging from 3.20–3.37 Å. In the third Te+0.17- site, Te+0.17- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and five Te+0.17- atoms.
