The compound described by AuTe2 is Krennerite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pma2 space group. There are three inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Te(1), one Te(2), one Te(4), and one Te(5) atom. In the second Au site, Au(2) is bonded to one Te(3), one Te(4), and four equivalent Te(2) atoms to form edge-sharing AuTe6 octahedra. In the third Au site, Au(3) is bonded to two equivalent Te(5) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form edge-sharing AuTe6 octahedra. There are five inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Au(1), two equivalent Au(3), and one Te(3) atom. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Au(1), two equivalent Au(2), and one Te(5) atom. In the third Te site, Te(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Au(2) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the fourth Te site, Te(4) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Au(2) and two equivalent Au(1) atoms. In the fifth Te site, Te(5) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Au(1), one Au(3), and one Te(2) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
