The structure described by MnCdTe2 is Enargite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. Mn(1) is bonded to one Te(2) and three equivalent Te(1) atoms to form MnTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mn(1)Te4 tetrahedra and corners with six equivalent Cd(1)Te4 tetrahedra. Cd(1) is bonded to one Te(1) and three equivalent Te(2) atoms to form CdTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mn(1)Te4 tetrahedra and corners with six equivalent Cd(1)Te4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent Mn(1) and one Cd(1) atom to form TeMn3Cd tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Te(1)Mn3Cd tetrahedra and corners with six equivalent Te(2)MnCd3 tetrahedra. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded to one Mn(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form TeMnCd3 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Te(1)Mn3Cd tetrahedra and corners with six equivalent Te(2)MnCd3 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
