AlTe(WO4)2 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. W(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Al(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 39-60°. Al(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 39-50°. Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent W(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Al(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-60°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one W(1), one Al(1), and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent W(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one W(1), one Al(1), and one Te(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent W(1) and one Al(1) atom.
