MgCdTe2 is Chalcopyrite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. Mg(1) is bonded to four equivalent Te(1) atoms to form MgTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mg(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 Mg(1)Te4 tetrahedra. Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form corner-sharing TeMg2Cd2 tetrahedra.
