Ba2ZnTeO6 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Ba(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent O(1) atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Te(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Zn(1)O6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Ba(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1), one Zn(1), and one Te(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing OBa4ZnTe octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-60°.
