The structure described by Co3Te is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded to four equivalent Co(1), four equivalent Co(2), and four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form CoCo8Te4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Co(1)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Co(1)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Co(2)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Te(1)Co12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Co(2)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Te(1)Co12 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten equivalent Co(1)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded to eight equivalent Co(1) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form CoCo8Te4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Co(2)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent Te(1)Co12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Co(2)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Co(1)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Co(2)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Te(1)Co12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Co(1)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra. Te(1) is bonded to four equivalent Co(2) and eight equivalent Co(1) atoms to form TeCo12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Te(1)Co12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent Co(2)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Te(1)Co12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Co(1)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Te(1)Co12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Co(2)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Co(1)Co8Te4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
