We report on the synthesis of LiCrTe\(_2\) single crystals and on their anisotropic magnetic properties. We have obtained these single crystals by employing a Te/Li-flux synthesis method. We find LiCrTe\(_2\) to crystallize in a TlCdS\(_2\) -type structure with cell parameters of \(a\) = 3.9512(5) Å...
