The material structure described by Co3TeO8 is Rutile-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. Co(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Te(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 53°. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 53°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Co(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
