CdZnB2O5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. Cd(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one O(5), three equivalent O(2), and three equivalent O(4) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(3) and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form corner-sharing ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(5) atom. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(5) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Cd(1), two equivalent Zn(1), and one B(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one B(1) and one B(2) atom. In the third O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cd(1) and one B(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) and one B(2) atom. In the fifth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cd(1) and one B(2) atom.
