The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. In the third Rh site, Rh(3) is bonded to two equivalent Te(1), two equivalent Te(3), and two equivalent Te(5) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing RhTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. In the fourth Rh site, Rh(4) is bonded to one Te(2), one Te(5), two equivalent Te(1), and two equivalent Te(4) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and edge-sharing RhTe6 octahedra. In the fifth Rh site, Rh(5) is bonded to two equivalent Te(2) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing RhTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. There are six inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded to one Rh(1), one Rh(3), one Rh(4), and one Rh(5) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TeRh4 trigonal pyramids. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded to one Rh(4), one Rh(5), and two equivalent Rh(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TeRh4 trigonal pyramids. In the third Te site, Te(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rh(1) and two equivalent Rh(3) atoms. In the fourth Te site, Te(4) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Rh(1), one Rh(2), and one Rh(4) atom. In the fifth Te site, Te(5) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Rh(4) and two equivalent Rh(3) atoms. In the sixth Te site, Te(6) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Rh(1) and two equivalent Rh(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
