Cr(RhTe2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent Rh(1), two equivalent Te(2), and four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form distorted CrTe6Rh2 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with twelve equivalent Rh(1)CrTe6 pentagonal bipyramids, corners with six equivalent Te(2)CrRh3 trigonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent Cr(1)Te6Rh2 hexagonal bipyramids, and faces with two equivalent Rh(1)CrTe6 pentagonal bipyramids. Rh(1) is bonded to one Cr(1), three equivalent Te(1), and three equivalent Te(2) atoms to form distorted RhCrTe6 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with six equivalent Cr(1)Te6Rh2 hexagonal bipyramids,  a cornercorner with one Rh(1)CrTe6 pentagonal bipyramid, corners with two equivalent Te(2)CrRh3 trigonal pyramids, edges with six equivalent Rh(1)CrTe6 pentagonal bipyramids, and  a faceface with one Cr(1)Te6Rh2 hexagonal bipyramid. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cr(1) and three equivalent Rh(1) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded to one Cr(1) and three equivalent Rh(1) atoms to form distorted TeCrRh3 trigonal pyramids that share corners with three equivalent Cr(1)Te6Rh2 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with two equivalent Rh(1)CrTe6 pentagonal bipyramids, corners with three equivalent Te(2)CrRh3 trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent Te(2)CrRh3 trigonal pyramids.

Both Cr(1)-Rh(1) bond lengths are 2.83 Å. Both Cr(1)-Te(2) bond lengths are 2.80 Å. All Cr(1)-Te(1) bond lengths are 2.78 Å. Rh(1) is bonded to one Cr(1), three equivalent Te(1), and three equivalent Te(2) atoms to form distorted RhCrTe6 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with six equivalent Cr(1)Te6Rh2 hexagonal bipyramids,  a cornercorner with one Rh(1)CrTe6 pentagonal bipyramid, corners with two equivalent Te(2)CrRh3 trigonal pyramids, edges with six equivalent Rh(1)CrTe6 pentagonal bipyramids, and  a faceface with one Cr(1)Te6Rh2 hexagonal bipyramid. There is one shorter (2.73 Å) and two longer (2.76 Å) Rh(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.67 Å) and one longer (2.68 Å) Rh(1)-Te(2) bond length. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cr(1) and three equivalent Rh(1) atoms.
