HgTeO3 is Antimony trioxide-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. There are two inequivalent Hg sites. In the first Hg site, Hg(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(5) atom. In the second Hg site, Hg(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one O(3), one O(4), one O(6), and two equivalent O(5) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one O(4), one O(5), and two equivalent O(6) atoms. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Hg(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Hg(1) and one Te(1) atom.
