CrTe is Caswellsilverite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Cr(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing CrTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-50°. Te(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cr(1) atoms.

Cr(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing CrTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-50°. There are a spread of Cr(1)-Te(1) bond distances ranging from 2.84-2.87 Å. Te(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cr(1) atoms.
