- This is the low-temperature structure of Tl$_{2}$TeO$_{3}$. Above 440$^\circ$C it transforms into the orthorhombic $\alpha $Tl$_{2}$TeO$_{3}$. The data was taken at 25$^\circ$. (Rieger, 2007).
- (Rieger, 2007) mislabel the Wyckoff positions for $\beta$–Tl$_{2}$TeO$_{3}$. All of the atoms are on the general position (4e) sites.
\[ \begin{array}{ccc}
