Abstract
In this work, the synthesis of phase-pure Ag2CdSnSe4 by a mechanochemical approach and a subsequent annealing step in an evacuated ampoule is presented. A detailed analysis of the X-ray diffraction pattern of the product revealed the presence of weak reflections, that cannot be observed in the previously proposed crystal structure with space group Cmc21. Our structural investigation led to the assumption that Ag2CdSnSe4 crystallizes in the wurtzstannite-type structure with space group Pmn21 (a structure type derived from Cmc21). The aim of this contribution is to discuss the crystal structure of Ag2CdSnSe4 using Rietveld refinements in space group Cmc21 and its possible subgroups.
