Te3(Mo2N)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are three inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent N(1) and four equivalent Te(2) atoms. In the second Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent N(1), one Te(1), and two equivalent Te(2) atoms. In the third Mo site, Mo(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent N(1), two equivalent Te(1), and two equivalent Te(2) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mo(1), one Mo(2), and two equivalent Mo(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Mo(2) and four equivalent Mo(3) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Mo(2), two equivalent Mo(1), and two equivalent Mo(3) atoms.

In the first Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent N(1) and four equivalent Te(2) atoms. Both Mo(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.05 Å. There are two shorter (2.80 Å) and two longer (2.92 Å) Mo(1)-Te(2) bond lengths. In the second Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent N(1), one Te(1), and two equivalent Te(2) atoms. Both Mo(2)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.99 Å. The Mo(2)-Te(1) bond length is 2.96 Å. Both Mo(2)-Te(2) bond lengths are 2.86 Å. In the third Mo site, Mo(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent N(1), two equivalent Te(1), and two equivalent Te(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.03 Å) and one longer (2.11 Å) Mo(3)-N(1) bond length. There is one shorter (2.95 Å) and one longer (2.96 Å) Mo(3)-Te(1) bond length. There is one shorter (2.87 Å) and one longer (3.03 Å) Mo(3)-Te(2) bond length. N(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Mo(1), one Mo(2), and two equivalent Mo(3) atoms.
