The material described by Cu2CdSiSe4 is Stannite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmn2_1 space group. Cu(1) is bonded to one Se(1), one Se(2), and two equivalent Se(3) atoms to form CuSe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cu(1)Se4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Cd(1)Se4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent Si(1)Se4 tetrahedra. Cd(1) is bonded to one Se(1), one Se(2), and two equivalent Se(3) atoms to form CdSe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Si(1)Se4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Cu(1)Se4 tetrahedra. Si(1) is bonded to one Se(1), one Se(2), and two equivalent Se(3) atoms to form SiSe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cd(1)Se4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Cu(1)Se4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent Se sites. In the first Se site, Se(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cu(1), one Cd(1), and one Si(1) atom to form corner-sharing SeCdCu2Si tetrahedra. In the second Se site, Se(2) is bonded to two equivalent Cu(1), one Cd(1), and one Si(1) atom to form corner-sharing SeCdCu2Si tetrahedra. In the third Se site, Se(3) is bonded to two equivalent Cu(1), one Cd(1), and one Si(1) atom to form corner-sharing SeCdCu2Si tetrahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
