V4N2Te3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are three inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent N(1), one Te(1), and four equivalent Te(2) atoms. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the third V site, V(3) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent N(1), one Te(1), and three equivalent Te(2) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to one V(1), one V(2), and two equivalent V(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one V(1), two equivalent V(2), and two equivalent V(3) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1) and three equivalent V(3) atoms.

In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent N(1), one Te(1), and four equivalent Te(2) atoms. Both V(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.03 Å. The V(1)-Te(1) bond length is 2.78 Å. There are two shorter (3.01 Å) and two longer (3.10 Å) V(1)-Te(2) bond lengths. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. Both V(2)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.84 Å. There is one shorter (2.68 Å) and one longer (2.76 Å) V(2)-Te(1) bond length. In the third V site, V(3) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent N(1), one Te(1), and three equivalent Te(2) atoms. There is one shorter (1.92 Å) and one longer (1.93 Å) V(3)-N(1) bond length. The V(3)-Te(1) bond length is 2.85 Å. There are a spread of V(3)-Te(2) bond distances ranging from 2.78-2.92 Å.
