description: Li7Zr3Nb(TeO6)4 is Marcasite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are seven inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (1.98 Å) and three longer (2.56 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (1.97 Å) and three longer (2.61 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (1.96 Å) and three longer (2.62 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.04 Å) and three longer (2.35 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the fifth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.00 Å) and three longer (2.57 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the sixth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.03 Å) and three longer (2.36 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the seventh Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.07 Å) and three longer (2.35 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Zr4+ sites. In the first Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ZrO6 octahedra that share corners with six TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–40°. There are three shorter (2.10 Å) and three longer (2.13 Å) Zr–O bond lengths. In the second Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ZrO6 octahedra that share corners with six TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–40°. There are three shorter (2.10 Å) and three longer (2.13 Å) Zr–O bond lengths. In the third Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ZrO6 octahedra that share corners with six TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 38–40°. There are three shorter (2.11 Å) and three longer (2.13 Å) Zr–O bond lengths. Nb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NbO6 octahedra that share corners with six TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 31–38°. There are three shorter (1.99 Å) and three longer (2.04 Å) Nb–O bond lengths. There are four inequivalent Te6+ sites. In the first Te6+ site, Te6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six ZrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–40°. There is three shorter (1.93 Å) and three longer (1.96 Å) Te–O bond length. In the second Te6+ site, Te6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent ZrO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 38°. There is three shorter (1.93 Å) and three longer (1.97 Å) Te–O bond length. In the third Te6+ site, Te6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent ZrO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 31–40°. There is three shorter (1.93 Å) and three longer (1.95 Å) Te–O bond length. In the fourth Te6+ site, Te6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six ZrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–40°. There is three shorter (1.94 Å) and three longer (1.96 Å) Te–O bond length. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one Zr4+, and one Te6+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLi2ZrTe tetrahedra.
