LiCdN crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one N(1) and one N(2) atom. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted pentagonal planar geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Li(2), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), one Li(2), one Cd(1), and three equivalent Cd(2) atoms.
