Zr5Te4 is Titanium telluride structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. There are two inequivalent Zr sites. In the first Zr site, Zr(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the second Zr site, Zr(2) is bonded to five equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ZrTe5 trigonal bipyramids. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to one Zr(1) and five equivalent Zr(2) atoms.
Zr5Te4 is Titanium telluride structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. There are two inequivalent Zr sites. In the first Zr site, Zr(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Te(1) atoms. All Zr(1)-Te(1) bond lengths are 3.09 Å. In the second Zr site, Zr(2) is bonded to five equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ZrTe5 trigonal bipyramids. There are two shorter (2.94 Å) and three longer (2.95 Å) Zr(2)-Te(1) bond lengths. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to one Zr(1) and five equivalent Zr(2) atoms.
