The crystal structure described by Li8TeO6 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Li(2)O6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one Te(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Li(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 18-58°. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted LiO6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent Li(2)O6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra. Te(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent Li(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra. O(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(2), four equivalent Li(1), and one Te(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
