CuTeO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Cu(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Te(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one O(2) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cu(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Cu(1) and one Te(1) atom.
