Ba(InTe2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cccm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Te(1) and four equivalent Te(2) atoms. In(1) is bonded to two equivalent Te(1) and two equivalent Te(2) atoms to form edge-sharing InTe4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing TeBa2In2 trigonal pyramids. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded to two equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing TeBa2In2 trigonal pyramids.
Ba(InTe2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cccm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Te(1) and four equivalent Te(2) atoms. All Ba(1)-Te(1) bond lengths are 3.68 Å. All Ba(1)-Te(2) bond lengths are 3.64 Å. In(1) is bonded to two equivalent Te(1) and two equivalent Te(2) atoms to form edge-sharing InTe4 tetrahedra. Both In(1)-Te(1) bond lengths are 2.82 Å. There is one shorter (2.80 Å) and one longer (2.86 Å) In(1)-Te(2) bond length. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing TeBa2In2 trigonal pyramids. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded to two equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing TeBa2In2 trigonal pyramids.
