Materials Data on Te4Rh3 by Materials Project
Rh3Te4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh is bonded to six Te atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing RhTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–55°. There are four shorter (2.71 Å) and two longer (2.77 Å) Rh–Te bond lengths. In the second Rh site, Rh is bonded to six Te atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing RhTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–55°. There are a spread of Rh–Te bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.78 Å. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Rh atoms. In the second Te site, Te is bonded to four Rh atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing TeRh4 trigonal pyramids.
