The compound described by MgTeO4 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-54°. Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Mg(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-54°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Mg(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mg(1) and one Te(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
