The compound described by CoGeTe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. Co(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ge(1) and three equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CoGe3Te3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-65°. Ge(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Co(1) and one Te(1) atom. Te(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Co(1) and one Ge(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
