MnTeO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Mn(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 46-50°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mn(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mn(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OMn2Te2 trigonal pyramids.
MnTeO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Mn(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Both Mn(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.15 Å. There is one shorter (2.19 Å) and one longer (2.23 Å) Mn(1)-O(2) bond length. Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 46-50°. Both Te(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.27 Å. There are two shorter (2.17 Å) and two longer (2.18 Å) Te(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mn(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mn(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OMn2Te2 trigonal pyramids.
