Ag5Cd8 is gamma-brass structured and crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to one Ag(2), two equivalent Ag(1), two equivalent Cd(2), and eight equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ag(2), three equivalent Cd(2), and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ag(1), four equivalent Ag(2), one Cd(2), and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ag(1), three equivalent Ag(2), three equivalent Cd(1), and three equivalent Cd(2) atoms.

In the first Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to one Ag(2), two equivalent Ag(1), two equivalent Cd(2), and eight equivalent Cd(1) atoms. The Ag(2)-Ag(2) bond length is 2.87 Å. Both Ag(2)-Ag(1) bond lengths are 3.07 Å. Both Ag(2)-Cd(2) bond lengths are 2.93 Å. There are two shorter (2.86 Å) and six longer (3.19 Å) Ag(2)-Cd(1) bond lengths. In the second Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ag(2), three equivalent Cd(2), and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. All Ag(1)-Cd(2) bond lengths are 2.97 Å. There are three shorter (2.89 Å) and three longer (2.94 Å) Ag(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Cd sites.
