CdS2(NO7)2 is Hg_xSn structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two CdS2(NO7)2 clusters. Cd(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(7) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one O(5) and one O(6) atom. S(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(7) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Cd(1) and one O(3) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S(1) atom. In the third O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one S(1) and one O(7) atom. In the fifth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one S(1) and one O(5) atom. In the sixth O site, O(5) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one N(1) and one O(4) atom. In the seventh O site, O(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N(1) atom.
