The structure described by V(CrTe2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. V(1) is bonded to one Te(1), one Te(3), two equivalent Te(2), and two equivalent Te(4) atoms to form VTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cr(2)Te6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent V(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Cr(1)Te6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Cr(2)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-53°. There are two inequivalent Cr sites. In the first Cr site, Cr(1) is bonded to one Te(2), one Te(4), two equivalent Te(1), and two equivalent Te(3) atoms to form CrTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cr(2)Te6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent V(1)Te6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Cr(2)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-53°. In the second Cr site, Cr(2) is bonded to one Te(1), one Te(2), two equivalent Te(3), and two equivalent Te(4) atoms to form CrTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)Te6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent Cr(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Cr(2)Te6 octahedra,  a faceface with one V(1)Te6 octahedra, and  a faceface with one Cr(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-53°. There are four inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one V(1), one Cr(2), and two equivalent Cr(1) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent V(1), one Cr(1), and one Cr(2) atom. In the third Te site, Te(3) is bonded to one V(1), two equivalent Cr(1), and two equivalent Cr(2) atoms to form distorted TeVCr4 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent Te(4)V2Cr3 trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent Te(3)VCr4 trigonal bipyramids, and edges with three equivalent Te(4)V2Cr3 trigonal bipyramids. In the fourth Te site, Te(4) is bonded to two equivalent V(1), one Cr(1), and two equivalent Cr(2) atoms to form distorted TeV2Cr3 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent Te(3)VCr4 trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent Te(4)V2Cr3 trigonal bipyramids, and edges with three equivalent Te(3)VCr4 trigonal bipyramids. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
