BaTe3 is Barium trisulfide structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P-42_1m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Te(2) and eight equivalent Te(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and one Te(2) atom. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms.
BaTe3 is Barium trisulfide structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P-42_1m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Te(2) and eight equivalent Te(1) atoms. All Ba(1)-Te(2) bond lengths are 4.08 Å. There are four shorter (3.66 Å) and four longer (3.70 Å) Ba(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and one Te(2) atom. The Te(1)-Te(2) bond length is 2.80 Å. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms.
