LiCdBO3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. Li(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cd(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids,  an edgeedge with one Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Cd(1)O5 trigonal bipyramid. Cd(1) is bonded to one O(3), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted CdO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)O4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one Li(1)O4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent Cd(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Li(1), two equivalent Cd(1), and one B(1) atom to form distorted edge-sharing OLiCd2B tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), two equivalent Cd(1), and one B(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li(1), one Cd(1), and one B(1) atom.
