CoGeTe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. Co(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ge(1) and three equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CoGe3Te3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-65°. Ge(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Co(1) and one Te(1) atom. Te(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Co(1) and one Ge(1) atom.

Co(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ge(1) and three equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CoGe3Te3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-65°. There is one shorter (2.35 Å) and two longer (2.36 Å) Co(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.57 Å) and one longer (2.60 Å) Co(1)-Te(1) bond length. Ge(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Co(1) and one Te(1) atom. The Ge(1)-Te(1) bond length is 2.74 Å. Te(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Co(1) and one Ge(1) atom.
