CsCdCl3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Cs(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form CsCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Cs(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Cs(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Cd(1)Cl6 octahedra. Cd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form CdCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)Cl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Cs(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent Cs(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing ClCs4Cd2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-60°.
