Te7(OF5)6 is Protactinium structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one Te7(OF5)6 cluster. there are three inequivalent Te6+ sites. In the first Te6+ site, Te6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 42°. All Te–O bond lengths are 1.96 Å. In the second Te6+ site, Te6+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form corner-sharing TeOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 42°. The Te–O bond length is 1.94 Å. All Te–F bond lengths are 1.87 Å. In the third Te6+ site, Te6+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form corner-sharing TeOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 42°. The Te–O bond length is 1.94 Å. There is one shorter (1.86 Å) and four longer (1.87 Å) Te–F bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Te6+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Te6+ atoms. The O–Te bond length is 1.94 Å. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Te6+ atoms. There are fifteen inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. The F–Te bond length is 1.87 Å. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. The F–Te bond length is 1.87 Å. In the eighth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. The F–Te bond length is 1.87 Å. In the ninth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. The F–Te bond length is 1.87 Å. In the tenth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. The F–Te bond length is 1.86 Å. In the eleventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. In the twelfth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. In the thirteenth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. In the fourteenth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom. In the fifteenth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te6+ atom.
