Before presenting a systematic account of the principal families, relevant crystal chemical concepts are discussed, and structural classification schemes for these phases are reviewed. Chalcogens differ from oxygen by their moderate electronegativity. The Pauling electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44, whereas that of S is 2.58, Se 2.55, and Te 2.1 (Emsley 1994). The Shannon crystal radius of O2− is 1.40... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
