PdSnTe is Spinel-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. Pd(1) is bonded to three equivalent Sn(1) and three equivalent Te(1) atoms to form PdSn3Te3 octahedra that share corners with ten equivalent Pd(1)Sn3Te3 octahedra, corners with three equivalent Sn(1)TePd3 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent Te(1)SnPd3 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Pd(1)Sn3Te3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 53-67°. Sn(1) is bonded to three equivalent Pd(1) and one Te(1) atom to form distorted SnTePd3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Pd(1)Sn3Te3 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Sn(1)TePd3 tetrahedra, corners with nine equivalent Te(1)SnPd3 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Sn(1)TePd3 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 75-85°. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent Pd(1) and one Sn(1) atom to form TeSnPd3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Pd(1)Sn3Te3 octahedra, corners with six equivalent Te(1)SnPd3 tetrahedra, and corners with nine equivalent Sn(1)TePd3 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 75-80°.
