CaAg3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Ca(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent Ag(2) and eight equivalent Ag(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ca(1) and four equivalent Ag(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing AgCa4Ag4 tetrahedra. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ca(1) and eight equivalent Ag(1) atoms.
