✦ Synopsis

Single crystals of trizinc(II) hexaoxotellurate(VI), Zn 3 TeO 6 , were grown by chemical transport reactions. The compound crystallizes in the -Li 3 VF 6 structure type and is isotypic with Co 3 TeO 6 . It can be derived from a close packing of strongly distorted oxygen layers in an hhchhc sequence parallel to (100), with two distinct Te atoms in the octahedral, four Zn atoms in the octahedral and one Zn atom in the tetrahedral interstices. Except for one Te atom and one Zn atom which are located on an inversion centre and on a twofold axis, respectively, all atoms are in general positions.
