N2Te is beta Vanadium nitride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Te(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent N(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TeN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 28°.

In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Te(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.04 Å) and two longer (2.08 Å) N(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Te(1) atoms. There are a spread of N(2)-Te(1) bond distances ranging from 2.04-2.08 Å. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent N(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TeN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 28°.
