Materials Data on Sn3Te by Materials Project
Sn3Te is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sn is bonded to eight equivalent Sn and four equivalent Te atoms to form distorted SnSn8Te4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent SnSn8Te4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent TeSn12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent SnSn8Te4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent TeSn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent SnSn8Te4 cuboctahedra. All Sn–Sn bond lengths are 3.44 Å. All Sn–Te bond lengths are 3.44 Å. Te is bonded to twelve equivalent Sn atoms to form TeSn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent TeSn12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent SnSn8Te4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent TeSn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent SnSn8Te4 cuboctahedra.
