CdS2 is Pyrite-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. Cd(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form CdS6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Cd(1)S6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent S(1)Cd3S tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 68°. S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Cd(1) and one S(1) atom to form SCd3S tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Cd(1)S6 octahedra and corners with fifteen equivalent S(1)Cd3S tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 73°.
