Materials Data on ThGeTe by Materials Project
ThGeTe crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge and five equivalent Te atoms. All Th–Ge bond lengths are 3.10 Å. There are four shorter (3.22 Å) and one longer (3.46 Å) Th–Te bond lengths. Ge is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Th and four equivalent Ge atoms. All Ge–Ge bond lengths are 2.99 Å. Te is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Th atoms.
