The influence that doping with Mn{sup 3+} ions has on the fine crystal structure of the monoclinic compound Ga{sub 2}Se{sub 3} was studied by single-crystal neutron diffraction and the measurements of magnetic properties. It was found that the structural state of the crystals changes even at relatively low doping levels (x = 0.04). Local Jahn-Teller distortions were shown to be responsible for the formation of the fine structure and magnetism in this type of compounds.
