LaFeTeO6 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. La(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form LaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-56°. Fe(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent La(1)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 54-56°. 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 six equivalent La(1)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-53°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one La(1), one Fe(1), and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one La(1), one Fe(1), and one Te(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one La(1), one Fe(1), and one Te(1) atom.
