The compound described by MnGeTe2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Mn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form MnTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ge(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Mn(1)Te6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Ge(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 9°. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form GeTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mn(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Mn(1)Te6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Ge(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 9°. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent Mn(1) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing TeMn3Ge3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
