CaTe is Molybdenum Carbide MAX Phase-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ca(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing CaTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. Te(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ca(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TeCa6 pentagonal pyramids.
