AgCdO2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmma space group. Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CdO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-25°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ag(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Ag(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCd4Ag2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-1°.
AgCdO2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmma space group. Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. Both Ag(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.14 Å. Both Ag(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.27 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CdO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-25°. Both Cd(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.32 Å. There are two shorter (2.42 Å) and two longer (2.47 Å) Cd(1)-O(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ag(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Ag(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCd4Ag2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-1°.
