Title: Materials Data on Rb2TeBr6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb2TeBr6 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded to twelve Br1- atoms to form RbBr12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent RbBr12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent RbBr12 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent TeBr6 octahedra. There are a spread of Rb–Br bond distances ranging from 3.78–4.11 Å. Te4+ is bonded to six Br1- atoms to form TeBr6 octahedra that share faces with eight equivalent RbBr12 cuboctahedra. All Te–Br bond lengths are 2.74 Å. There are two inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb1+ and one Te4+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded to four equivalent Rb1+ and one Te4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing BrRb4Te square pyramids.
