Materials Data on CaCd3 by Materials Project
CaCd3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca is bonded to twelve equivalent Cd atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing CaCd12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.26 Å) and six longer (3.38 Å) Ca–Cd bond lengths. Cd is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ca atoms.
