OsTe2 is Pyrite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. Os(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form OsTe6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Os(1)Te6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Te(1)TeOs3 trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 63°. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent Os(1) and one Te(1) atom to form distorted TeTeOs3 trigonal pyramids that share corners with three equivalent Os(1)Te6 octahedra and corners with fifteen equivalent Te(1)TeOs3 trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 80°.
