title: Intermolecular interaction in TeO2 crystal.
abstract: It is shown that the abnormal long-range Te-Te intermolecular interaction in TeO(2) crystals may be related to the tunneling of electrons from the 5s(2) active lone pairs of Te(4+) ions and their partial delocalization on neighboring Te(4+).
