Lu2TeO6 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Lu(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form LuO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Lu(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Lu(1)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-59°. Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Lu(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Lu(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-47°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Lu(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Lu(1) and one Te(1) atom.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-59°. Both Lu(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.23 Å. There are two shorter (2.19 Å) and two longer (2.24 Å) Lu(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Lu(1)O6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Lu(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-47°. Both Te(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.96 Å. All Te(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.96 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Lu(1) and one Te(1) atom.
