X‐ray powder technique was used in the investigation of AgCd 2 GaS 4– 'AgZn 2 GaS 4 ' section to determine the region of AgCd 2 GaS 4 ‐based solubility. It was established that the solid solution forms up to 75 mol.% 'AgZn 2 GaS 4 '. The refinement of AgCd 0.5 Zn 1.5 GaS 4 structure was performed. This alloy crystallizes in orthorhombic structure (space group Pmn2 1 ) with unit cell parameters a =0.78772(2), b =0.67221(2), c =0.64019(2) nm, V =0.33899(3) nm 3 .
