Materials Data on TeAuI by Materials Project
AuTeI crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one AuTeI sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Au3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Te2- and one I1- atom. There are a spread of Au–Te bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.73 Å. The Au–I bond length is 2.73 Å. Te2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Au3+ and one I1- atom. The Te–I bond length is 3.60 Å. I1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Au3+ and one Te2- atom.
