Cd5P3O13 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3 space group. There are three inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(4) atoms. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(4) atoms. In the third Cd site, Cd(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(4), one O(5), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Cd(1), one Cd(2), one Cd(3), and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(5) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Cd(3) atoms. In the third O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cd(1), one Cd(2), and one P(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cd(3) and one P(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cd(3) and one P(1) atom.
