The material structure described by Cd3Te is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Cd(1), four equivalent Cd(2), and four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form distorted CdCd8Te4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Cd(1)Cd8Te4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Cd(1)Cd8Te4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Te(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Te(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten equivalent Cd(1)Cd8Te4 cuboctahedra. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to eight equivalent Cd(1) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded to four equivalent Cd(2) and eight equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form TeCd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Te(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Te(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Cd(1)Cd8Te4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Te(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Cd(1)Cd8Te4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
