Cd4Al6TeO12 crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. Cd(1) is bonded to one Te(1) and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted CdTeO3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Cd(1)TeO3 tetrahedra and corners with six equivalent Al(1)O4 tetrahedra. Al(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cd(1)TeO3 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent Al(1)O4 tetrahedra. Te(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Cd(1) and two equivalent Al(1) atoms.
