Pd4Te crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. There are four inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(4) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(2) and two equivalent Te(2) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd(3) and one Te(1) atom. In the third Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd(2), three equivalent Pd(3), and three equivalent Pd(4) atoms. In the fourth Pd site, Pd(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent Pd(2), and two equivalent Te(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd(3) and three equivalent Pd(4) atoms.
