The structure described by V3Te4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to three equivalent Te(1) and three equivalent Te(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing VTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 51-54°. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to two equivalent Te(2) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing VTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 51-54°. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one V(2) and three equivalent V(1) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent V(2) and three equivalent V(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TeV5 trigonal bipyramids. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
