CaCd2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Ca(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ca(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms.
CaCd2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Ca(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are a spread of Ca(1)-Cd(1) bond distances ranging from 3.34-3.52 Å. Cd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ca(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.86 Å) and one longer (3.06 Å) Cd(1)-Cd(1) bond length.
