Materials Data on CdIO by Materials Project
CdOI crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O and three equivalent I atoms. There are a spread of Cd–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.34 Å. There are a spread of Cd–I bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.29 Å. O is bonded to three equivalent Cd and one I atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OCd3I tetrahedra. The O–I bond length is 2.42 Å. I is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cd and one O atom.
