ZrCd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Zr(1) is bonded to five equivalent Zr(1) and one Cd(1) atom to form ZrZr5Cd octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Cd(1)ZrCd5 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Zr(1)Zr5Cd octahedra, edges with four equivalent Cd(1)ZrCd5 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Zr(1)Zr5Cd octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Cd(1) is bonded to one Zr(1) and five equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form CdZrCd5 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Zr(1)Zr5Cd octahedra, corners with four equivalent Cd(1)ZrCd5 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Zr(1)Zr5Cd octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Cd(1)ZrCd5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.

The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. There are four shorter (2.92 Å) and one longer (2.98 Å) Zr(1)-Zr(1) bond length. The Zr(1)-Cd(1) bond length is 3.03 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to one Zr(1) and five equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form CdZrCd5 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Zr(1)Zr5Cd octahedra, corners with four equivalent Cd(1)ZrCd5 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Zr(1)Zr5Cd octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Cd(1)ZrCd5 octahedra.
