The crystal structure described by Mn4TeO8 is beta indium sulfide-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. There are four inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mn(3)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(2)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(4)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 13-21°. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(3)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(4)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. In the third Mn site, Mn(3) is bonded to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(2)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(4)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 13-21°. In the fourth Mn site, Mn(4) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(2)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(3)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(2)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Mn(3)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Mn(4)O6 octahedra. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Mn(2), one Mn(4), and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to one Mn(1), one Mn(2), one Mn(3), and one Mn(4) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mn(1), one Mn(2), one Mn(3), and one Te(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mn(1), one Mn(3), one Mn(4), and one Te(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
