PbTe is Molybdenum Carbide MAX Phase-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Pb(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing PbTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. Te(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TePb6 pentagonal pyramids.

Pb(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing PbTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. There are three shorter (3.30 Å) and three longer (3.31 Å) Pb(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. Te(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TePb6 pentagonal pyramids.
