TeMo6 is Parent of FeAs superconductors-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. There are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mo(1), four equivalent Mo(2), and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the second Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mo(1) and eight equivalent Mo(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing MoMo12 cuboctahedra. Te(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Mo(2) atoms.

In the first Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mo(1), four equivalent Mo(2), and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. There are a spread of Mo(2)-Mo(1) bond distances ranging from 2.71-3.13 Å. There are two shorter (2.68 Å) and two longer (2.78 Å) Mo(2)-Mo(2) bond lengths. There is one shorter (2.80 Å) and one longer (3.11 Å) Mo(2)-Te(1) bond length. In the second Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mo(1) and eight equivalent Mo(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing MoMo12 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.67 Å) and two longer (2.68 Å) Mo(1)-Mo(1) bond lengths. Te(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Mo(2) atoms.
