MnTe2 is Pyrite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. Mn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form MnTe6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Mn(1)Te6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Te(1)Mn3Te tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 65°. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent Mn(1) and one Te(1) atom to form distorted TeMn3Te tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Mn(1)Te6 octahedra and corners with fifteen equivalent Te(1)Mn3Te tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 78°.
