KAlTe2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. K(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1) and eight equivalent Te(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form edge-sharing AlTe4 tetrahedra. Te(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K(1) and two equivalent Al(1) atoms.
