Manganese tellurite, -MnTe₂O₅

M. G. Johnston and W. T. A. Harrison

Abstract: Hydrothermally prepared -MnTe₂O₅ is isostructural with MgTe₂O₅. It contains infinite layers of corner-sharing TeO₃₊₁ groups propagating in the ac plane. Infinite chains of edge-sharing MnO₆ octahedra [d_av(Mn-O) = 2.186  (2)  Å] running along [001] link the Te/O layers into a continuous structure. Mn and one O atom have site symmetry 2. -MnTe₂O₅ complements the known denningite-type phase -MnTe₂O₅.
