BaCdSb2 is Parent of FeAs superconductors-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sb(1) and four equivalent Sb(2) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CdSb4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Sb site, Sb(2) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and four equivalent Sb(2) atoms.
