The compound described by Mg16Al12Te crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. There are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to one Mg(2), six equivalent Mg(1), and five equivalent Al(1) atoms. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg(1), six equivalent Al(1), and one Te(1) atom. Al(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(2), five equivalent Mg(1), three equivalent Al(1), and one Te(1) atom. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Mg(2) and twelve equivalent Al(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
