CsHg is delta Molybdenum Boride-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. There are two inequivalent Cs sites. In the first Cs site, Cs(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hg(2) and four equivalent Hg(1) atoms. In the second Cs site, Cs(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hg(1) and four equivalent Hg(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Hg sites. In the first Hg site, Hg(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs(2), four equivalent Cs(1), and two equivalent Hg(2) atoms. In the second Hg site, Hg(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs(1), four equivalent Cs(2), and two equivalent Hg(1) atoms.

In the first Cs site, Cs(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hg(2) and four equivalent Hg(1) atoms. There is one shorter (3.94 Å) and two longer (4.04 Å) Cs(1)-Hg(2) bond lengths. There are a spread of Cs(1)-Hg(1) bond distances ranging from 3.95-4.27 Å. In the second Cs site, Cs(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hg(1) and four equivalent Hg(2) atoms. There are a spread of Cs(2)-Hg(1) bond distances ranging from 3.90-4.10 Å. There are a spread of Cs(2)-Hg(2) bond distances ranging from 3.86-4.25 Å. There are two inequivalent Hg sites. In the first Hg site, Hg(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs(2), four equivalent Cs(1), and two equivalent Hg(2) atoms. There is one shorter (3.05 Å) and one longer (3.06 Å) Hg(1)-Hg(2) bond length. In the second Hg site, Hg(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs(1), four equivalent Cs(2), and two equivalent Hg(1) atoms.
