Mn3TeO6 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Mn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O(2) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Mn(1) and one Te(2) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OMn3Te tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to three equivalent Mn(1) and one Te(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OMn3Te trigonal pyramids.
Mn3TeO6 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Mn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.12 Å) and two longer (2.23 Å) Mn(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Mn(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.10-2.39 Å. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O(2) atoms. All Te(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.93 Å. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. All Te(2)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.93 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites.
