CdPbS2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Cd(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form CdS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Pb(1)S6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Cd(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Pb(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°. Pb(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form PbS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)S6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Cd(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Pb(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°. S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Cd(1) and three equivalent Pb(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SCd3Pb3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
