The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 11–56°. There are a spread of Cu–Se bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.48 Å. There are two inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded to two equivalent Gd3+ and five Cu1+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SeGd2Cu5 pentagonal bipyramids. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded to one Gd3+ and six Cu1+ atoms to form distorted SeGdCu6 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with three equivalent SeGdCu6 pentagonal bipyramids and edges with twelve SeGd2Cu5 pentagonal bipyramids.
