- (Sutherland, 1976) found this structure, which we call In$_{2}$Te$_{5}$ (I), but later also found evidence of another tetragonal structure in the same sample. (Walton, 1978) investigated this new structure, which they called In$_{2}$Te$_{5}$ (II). (Villars, 2018) and others list In$_{2}$Te$_{5}$ (I) as the room temperature structure.
