HfCl6(Te)8 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two HfCl6 clusters and two Te clusters. In each HfCl6 cluster, Hf(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), and two equivalent Cl(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Hf(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Hf(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Hf(1) atom. In each Te cluster, there are eight inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Te(2) and one Te(5) atom. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Te(1) and one Te(4) atom. In the third Te site, Te(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Te(4), one Te(5), and one Te(7) atom. In the fourth Te site, Te(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Te(2), one Te(3), and one Te(6) atom. In the fifth Te site, Te(5) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Te(1) and one Te(3) atom. In the sixth Te site, Te(6) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Te(4) and one Te(8) atom. In the seventh Te site, Te(7) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Te(3) and one Te(8) atom. In the eighth Te site, Te(8) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Te(6) and one Te(7) atom.
