In6TeO12 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. In(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. Te(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded to four equivalent In(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OIn4 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent In(1) and one Te(1) atom.
