CrAuTe4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/m space group. Cr(1) is bonded to two equivalent Te(1) and four equivalent Te(2) atoms to form CrTe6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Cr(1)Te6 octahedra and edges with four equivalent Au(1)Te6 octahedra. Au(1) is bonded to two equivalent Te(2) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form distorted AuTe6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Au(1)Te6 octahedra and edges with four equivalent Cr(1)Te6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Cr(1) and two equivalent Au(1) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Cr(1), one Au(1), and one Te(2) atom.
