CdSbS2Cl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1), two equivalent S(2), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form CdS4Cl2 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Cd(1)S4Cl2 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Sb(1)S5 square pyramids, edges with two equivalent Cd(1)S4Cl2 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent Sb(1)S5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. Sb(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and three equivalent S(2) atoms to form SbS5 square pyramids that share corners with four equivalent Cd(1)S4Cl2 octahedra, edges with three equivalent Cd(1)S4Cl2 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Sb(1)S5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 16-67°. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cd(1) and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form distorted SCd2Sb2 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent S(2)Cd2Sb3 square pyramids, corners with four equivalent S(1)Cd2Sb2 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent S(2)Cd2Sb3 square pyramids. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to two equivalent Cd(1) and three equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form SCd2Sb3 square pyramids that share corners with four equivalent S(1)Cd2Sb2 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent S(2)Cd2Sb3 square pyramids, and edges with three equivalent S(1)Cd2Sb2 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Cd(1) atoms.
