CoCdF5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Co(1) is bonded to one F(2), two equivalent F(1), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form distorted CoF5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 18-63°. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form CdF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Cd(1)F6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Co(1)F5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 54°. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co(1) and one Cd(1) atom. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Co(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Co(1) and one Cd(1) atom.
