PdTeI crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mmc space group. Pd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Te(1) and two equivalent I(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing PdTe4I2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 13°. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. I(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
PdTeI crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mmc space group. Pd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Te(1) and two equivalent I(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing PdTe4I2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 13°. There are two shorter (2.61 Å) and two longer (2.90 Å) Pd(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. Both Pd(1)-I(1) bond lengths are 2.74 Å. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. I(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
