Mg(InTe2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form MgTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent In(1)Te4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent In(2)Te4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In(1) is bonded to four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form InTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mg(1)Te4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent In(2)Te4 tetrahedra. In the second In site, In(2) is bonded to four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form InTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mg(1)Te4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent In(1)Te4 tetrahedra. Te(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Mg(1), one In(1), and one In(2) atom.
