CoTe3 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two CoTe3 clusters. Co(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te(1) and two equivalent Te(2) atoms. The Co(1)-Te(1) bond length is 0.16 Å. Both Co(1)-Te(2) bond lengths are 2.19 Å. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co(1) atom. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Co(1) and one Te(2) atom. The Te(2)-Te(2) bond length is 1.17 Å.
