HgTe is Cinnabar structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3_221 space group. Hg(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Te(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Hg(1) atoms.
HgTe is Cinnabar structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3_221 space group. Hg(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Te(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.72 Å) and two longer (3.34 Å) Hg(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. Te(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Hg(1) atoms.
