Materials Data on BiTe3 by Materials Project
BiTe3 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Bi5+ is bonded to six Te+1.67- atoms to form edge-sharing BiTe6 octahedra. There are three shorter (3.18 Å) and three longer (3.22 Å) Bi–Te bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Te+1.67- sites. In the first Te+1.67- site, Te+1.67- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Te+1.67- atoms. There are three shorter (3.27 Å) and three longer (3.30 Å) Te–Te bond lengths. In the second Te+1.67- site, Te+1.67- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Bi5+ and three equivalent Te+1.67- atoms. In the third Te+1.67- site, Te+1.67- is bonded to three equivalent Bi5+ and three equivalent Te+1.67- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing TeBi3Te3 octahedra.
