ThBiTe is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Th(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Bi(1) and five equivalent Te(1) atoms. Bi(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th(1) and four equivalent Bi(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded to five equivalent Th(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TeTh5 trigonal bipyramids.
ThBiTe is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Th(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Bi(1) and five equivalent Te(1) atoms. All Th(1)-Bi(1) bond lengths are 3.38 Å. There is one shorter (3.31 Å) and four longer (3.33 Å) Th(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. Bi(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th(1) and four equivalent Bi(1) atoms. All Bi(1)-Bi(1) bond lengths are 3.21 Å. Te(1) is bonded to five equivalent Th(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TeTh5 trigonal bipyramids.
