Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction measurements were performed on a deuterated tetraammonium dihydrogen triselenate (ND4)4D2(SeO4)3 crystal at low temperatures. A structural phase transition is found at 182.0(3) K. The space group symmetry (triclinic P1) and the structure parameters are determined at 145 K in the low-temperature phase. The isotope effect for an asymmetric O--H--O hydrogen bond by the substitution of deuterium is discussed.
