The structure described by MnCd2Te3 is Enargite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. Mn(1) is bonded to one Te(3) and three equivalent Te(2) atoms to form MnTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Cd(1)Te4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent Cd(2)Te4 tetrahedra, and corners with six equivalent Mn(1)Te4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded to one Te(1) and three equivalent Te(3) atoms to form CdTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Mn(1)Te4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent Cd(2)Te4 tetrahedra, and corners with six equivalent Cd(1)Te4 tetrahedra. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded to one Te(2) and three equivalent Te(1) atoms to form CdTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Mn(1)Te4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent Cd(1)Te4 tetrahedra, and corners with six equivalent Cd(2)Te4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded to one Cd(1) and three equivalent Cd(2) atoms to form TeCd4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Te(2)Mn3Cd tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent Te(3)MnCd3 tetrahedra, and corners with six equivalent Te(1)Cd4 tetrahedra. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded to three equivalent Mn(1) and one Cd(2) atom to form TeMn3Cd tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Te(1)Cd4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent Te(3)MnCd3 tetrahedra, and corners with six equivalent Te(2)Mn3Cd tetrahedra. In the third Te site, Te(3) is bonded to one Mn(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form TeMnCd3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Te(1)Cd4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent Te(2)Mn3Cd tetrahedra, and corners with six equivalent Te(3)MnCd3 tetrahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
