The structure described by Nb3Te4 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Nb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Te(1) and four equivalent Te(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nb(1) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(1) is bonded to six equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form distorted face-sharing TeNb6 pentagonal pyramids. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
