The material structure described by CeTe2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Te(1) and five equivalent Te(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded to five equivalent Ce(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TeCe5 trigonal bipyramids. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
