IrTe2 is zeta iron carbide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Ir(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing IrTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Ir(1) atoms.

Ir(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing IrTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. There are two shorter (2.66 Å) and four longer (2.69 Å) Ir(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Ir(1) atoms.
