Abstract
Zirconium silicon telluride, ZrSiTe, crystallizes is a layer-type structure which is related to the PbFCl type. The Zr atom is coordinated by four Si and four Te atoms. The Si and Te atoms are arranged in square planes. These planes are situated at opposite sides of the Zr atom; the coordination polyhedron may be described as a distorted quadratic antiprism. The distances between the Si atoms [2.614 (1) A] are longer than that of a Si-Si single bond (2.35 A), but comparable with the Si-Si separations in transition metal disilicides. The Te-Te separations within the Te 4 plane give no indication of significant interactions
