Cd2SnO4 is Spinel-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form CdO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cd(2)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 52-64°. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form CdO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Cd(2)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra. Sn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Cd(2)O6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Cd(1), one Cd(2), and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Cd(1), two equivalent Cd(2), and one Sn(1) atom.
