Li2GeTeO6 is Ilmenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form GeO6 octahedra that share edges with three equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share edges with three equivalent Ge(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), one Li(2), one Ge(1), and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), one Li(2), one Ge(1), and one Te(1) atom.
