CdCoO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 30-32°. Cd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Co(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OCd2Co2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms.
CdCoO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 30-32°. Both Co(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.97 Å. There are two shorter (1.80 Å) and two longer (2.12 Å) Co(1)-O(2) bond lengths. Cd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and six equivalent O(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.25 Å) and one longer (2.33 Å) Cd(1)-O(1) bond length. There are a spread of Cd(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.29-2.70 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Co(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OCd2Co2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms.
