PbTe is Modderite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Pb(1) is bonded to five equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing PbTe5 square pyramids. Te(1) is bonded to five equivalent Pb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TePb5 trigonal bipyramids.
PbTe is Modderite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Pb(1) is bonded to five equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing PbTe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Pb(1)-Te(1) bond distances ranging from 3.04-3.35 Å. Te(1) is bonded to five equivalent Pb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TePb5 trigonal bipyramids.
