Fe2Te3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Fe(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing FeTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 51-53°. Te(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Fe(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 51-53°. There are three shorter (2.43 Å) and three longer (2.55 Å) Fe(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. Te(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Fe(1) atoms.
