TmCrTeO6 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-31c space group. Tm(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form TmO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-54°. Cr(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Tm(1)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 54°. Te(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Tm(1)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Cr(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Tm(1), one Cr(1), and one Te(1) atom.
