The structure described by Ni7Te6(O9Cl)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded to one O(2), two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), and one Cl(1) atom to form NiClO5 octahedra that share  an edgeedge with one Ni(2)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Ni(1)ClO5 octahedra. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded to six equivalent O(3) atoms to form edge-sharing NiO6 octahedra. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ni(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Ni(2), two equivalent Ni(1), and one Te(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Ni(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
