We have calculated the NMR shielding, structural properties and optoelectronic spectra of XTe3O8 (X = Ti, Zr, Sn and Hf) compounds. The full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method and the modified Becke-Johnson (mBJ) are used by density functional theory schemes. The calculated shielding and measured shifts are arranged in a straight line and the tensors of magnetic shielding have a low symmetry and the shielding along the x direction is greater than the y and z directions. Obtained results show that the X ions have the most important influence on the 125Te chemical shift. Calculated chemical shielding components (σii) decrease from Ti to Sn then increases from Sn to Hf so that these behaviors are vice versa for 125Te isotropic chemical shift (δiso). Density of states spectra show that the X-p and d states play key role in the optical and NMR calculations. Optical results illustrate that there is a direct relation between the chemical shielding components for Te atom and the static dielectric function, refractive index and Plasmon energies.
