Single crystals of tricobalt(II) tellurium(VI) hexaoxide, Co3TeO6, were synthesized via transport reactions using HCl as transporting agent. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system (space group C2/c). The Te atoms are positioned in 4b (1̄) and 8f positions, while the Co atoms are in 4e (2) and 8f positions. The structure consists of (100) oxygen layers packed in a hhchhc sequence, with TeVI in octahedral coordination and CoII in both octahedral and tetrahedral coordination. The structure contains face-sharing CoO6 octahedra, as well as edge-sharing CoO4 tetrahedra. Co3TeO6 is the first oxide that is isostructural with the β-Li3MF6 family of compounds (M = Al, Cr, Ga, Ti and V).
