CoTeO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-52°. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted 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 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and one Te(1) atom.

Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-52°. Both Co(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.11 Å. There are two shorter (2.12 Å) and two longer (2.31 Å) Co(1)-O(2) bond lengths. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. The Te(1)-O(1) bond length is 1.94 Å. Both Te(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.96 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted 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 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and one Te(1) atom.
