CdO2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. Cd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and four equivalent O(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to four equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCd4 tetrahedra.
CdO2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. Cd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and four equivalent O(3) atoms. The Cd(1)-O(1) bond length is 2.26 Å. The Cd(1)-O(2) bond length is 2.23 Å. There are a spread of Cd(1)-O(3) bond distances ranging from 2.26-2.33 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Cd(1) atoms.
