CoTeO4 is trigonal omega-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra and edges with four equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra and edges with four equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms.
