The crystal structure described by LiGdSe2 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. Li(1) is bonded to six Se(1,1) atoms to form LiSe6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Gd(1)Se6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Li(1)Se6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Li(1)Se6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Gd(1)Se6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-1°. Gd(1) is bonded to six Se(1,1,1) atoms to form GdSe6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Li(1)Se6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Gd(1)Se6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Gd(1)Se6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Li(1)Se6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-1°. There are three inequivalent Se sites. In the first Se site, Se(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SeLi3Gd3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-1°. In the second Se site, Se(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SeLi3Gd3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-1°. In the third Se site, Se(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SeLi3Gd3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-1°. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
