MnTe is Modderite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Mn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing MnTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-51°. Te(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mn(1) atoms.

Mn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing MnTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-51°. There are a spread of Mn(1)-Te(1) bond distances ranging from 2.81-2.86 Å. Te(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mn(1) atoms.
