Two isotypic cerium tellurite halides with the formulas [Ce2Te7O17]Cl2 and [Ce2Te7O17]Br2 have been synthesized hydrothermally via the reactions of CeCl3 and CeBr3 with TeO2. The structures of these compounds feature a cationic inorganic framework. The CeIV dimers are bound by a novel 3D Te7O176– building unit, forming an unusual hexagonal-bipyramidal environment around CeIV.
