LiCdPO4 is Hausmannite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. Li(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 56-72°. Cd(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form distorted CdO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one P(1)O4 tetrahedra.
