The crystal structure described by MnCdTe2 is Chalcopyrite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. Mn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form MnTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mn(1)Te4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Cd(1)Te4 tetrahedra. Cd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form CdTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cd(1)Te4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Mn(1)Te4 tetrahedra. Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mn(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form corner-sharing TeMn2Cd2 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
