Cd(O2Br)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing CdO6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Cd(1) and one Br(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cd(1) and one Br(1) atom. Br(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one O(1) and one O(2) atom.
Cd(O2Br)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing CdO6 octahedra. Both Cd(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.34 Å. There are two shorter (2.36 Å) and two longer (2.38 Å) Cd(1)-O(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Cd(1) and one Br(1) atom. The O(2)-Br(1) bond length is 1.79 Å. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cd(1) and one Br(1) atom. The O(1)-Br(1) bond length is 1.75 Å. Br(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one O(1) and one O(2) atom.
