CeTe2O6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), two equivalent O(5), and two equivalent O(6) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one O(4), one O(5), and one O(6) atom. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ce(1) and one Te(2) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ce(1) and one Te(1) atom.
