Materials Data on RbTeAu by Materials Project
RbAuTe crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded to six equivalent Au1+ and six equivalent Te2- atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing RbTe6Au6 cuboctahedra. All Rb–Au bond lengths are 3.84 Å. All Rb–Te bond lengths are 3.84 Å. Au1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Rb1+ and three equivalent Te2- atoms. All Au–Te bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Te2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Rb1+ and three equivalent Au1+ atoms.
