MgTeCl2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one MgTeCl2 cluster. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Te(1) and one Cl(2) atom. The Mg(1)-Te(1) bond length is 1.05 Å. The Mg(1)-Cl(2) bond length is 1.49 Å. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Mg(1) and one Cl(1) atom. The Te(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.49 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Te(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mg(1) atom.
