The compound described by Ni3Te2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. There are three inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ni(3), three equivalent Ni(2), two equivalent Te(1), and three equivalent Te(2) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(2), two equivalent Ni(3), three equivalent Ni(1), one Te(1), and three equivalent Te(2) atoms. In the third Ni site, Ni(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ni(1), two equivalent Ni(2), two equivalent Ni(3), one Te(2), and three equivalent Te(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to one Ni(2), two equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent Ni(3) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Ni(3), three equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent Ni(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
