Ba3Te crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Te(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ba(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing TeBa12 cuboctahedra.
Ba3Te crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Te(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.79 Å) and two longer (3.99 Å) Ba(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. Te(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ba(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing TeBa12 cuboctahedra.
