LiCdPO4 is Hausmannite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) 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 57-70°. Cd(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), and four equivalent O(1) 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. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 57-70°. P(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Cd(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Li(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-59°. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Cd(1), and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li(1), one Cd(1), and one P(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li(1), one Cd(1), and one P(1) atom.
