The compound described by Cr3Te4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are two inequivalent Cr sites. In the first Cr site, Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent Te(2) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing CrTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-52°. In the second Cr site, Cr(2) is bonded to three equivalent Te(1) and three equivalent Te(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing CrTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-52°. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cr(1) and three equivalent Cr(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TeCr5 trigonal bipyramids. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Cr(1) and three equivalent Cr(2) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
