The material described by CdGa2Se4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4m2 space group. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent Se(2) and four equivalent Se(1) atoms to form CdSe6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ga(2)Se6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Cd(1)Se6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Ga(1)Se6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Ga(2)Se6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-8°. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded to two equivalent Se(1) and four equivalent Se(2) atoms to form GaSe6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ga(1)Se6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Cd(1)Se6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Ga(2)Se6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 8°. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded to two equivalent Se(2) and four equivalent Se(1) atoms to form GaSe6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Cd(1)Se6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Ga(2)Se6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Cd(1)Se6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Ga(1)Se6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-8°. There are two inequivalent Se sites. In the first Se site, Se(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cd(1), one Ga(1), and two equivalent Ga(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SeCd2Ga3 square pyramids. In the second Se site, Se(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to one Cd(1), one Ga(2), and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
