Chalcogenide alloys CuMnAlSe3, CuMnGaSe3 and CuMnInSe3, new members of the semiconductor system I-II-III-VI3, were synthetized and structurally characterized by the Rietveld method using X-ray powder diffraction data. All compounds crystallize in the tetragonal space group P4 2c (Nº 112) with a CuFeInSe3-type structure.
