Materials Data on V(TeO3)4 by Materials Project
V(TeO3)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted VO6 octahedra that share edges with three TeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–2.20 Å. There are four inequivalent Te5+ sites. In the first Te5+ site, Te5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share an edgeedge with one VO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.03 Å. In the second Te5+ site, Te5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent VO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–1.99 Å. In the third Te5+ site, Te5+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.80 Å. In the fourth Te5+ site, Te5+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.67 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites.
