K2CdO2 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. K(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing CdO4 trigonal pyramids. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent K(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing OK4Cd2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-71°.
K2CdO2 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. K(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are a spread of K(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.65-2.87 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing CdO4 trigonal pyramids. There are two shorter (2.20 Å) and two longer (2.28 Å) Cd(1)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent K(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing OK4Cd2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-71°.
