Telluride misfit layer compounds are reported for the first time. These compounds were synthesized using a novel approach of structurally designing a precursor that would form the desired product upon low‐temperature annealing, which allows the synthesis of kinetically stable products that do not appear on the equilibrium phase diagram. Four new compounds of the [(PbTe) 1.17 ] m (TiTe 2 ) n family are reported, and their structures were examined by a variety of X‐ray diffraction techniques.
