Cd(AuF6)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Au(1) is bonded to one F(1), one F(2), one F(3), one F(4), one F(5), and one F(6) atom to form AuF6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent Cd(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-53°. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(5) atoms to form CdF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Au(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-53°. There are six inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Au(1) and one Cd(1) atom. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Au(1) and one Cd(1) atom. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(1) atom. In the fourth F site, F(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(1) atom. In the fifth F site, F(5) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Au(1) and one Cd(1) atom. In the sixth F site, F(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(1) atom.
