Cd(CoN)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Co(1) is bonded to one Cd(1) and four equivalent N(1) atoms to form distorted CoCdN4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)Cd6Co2 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with seven equivalent Co(1)CdN4 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent Co(1)CdN4 tetrahedra. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent Co(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form distorted CdCd6Co2 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)Cd6Co2 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with twelve equivalent Co(1)CdN4 tetrahedra, and edges with twelve equivalent Cd(1)Cd6Co2 hexagonal bipyramids. N(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Co(1) atoms.

The Co(1)-Cd(1) bond length is 3.29 Å. There are three shorter (1.82 Å) and one longer (2.12 Å) Co(1)-N(1) bond length. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent Co(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form distorted CdCd6Co2 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)Cd6Co2 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with twelve equivalent Co(1)CdN4 tetrahedra, and edges with twelve equivalent Cd(1)Cd6Co2 hexagonal bipyramids. There are two shorter (3.06 Å) and four longer (3.07 Å) Cd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths. N(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Co(1) atoms.
