Mn3Te is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. There are two inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mn(2) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing MnMn4Te4 tetrahedra. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Mn(1) and six equivalent Te(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent Mn(2) and eight equivalent Mn(1) atoms.
