The structure described by MnCdO2 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form CdO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent Cd(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Mn(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mn(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form OMn4Cd2 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent O(1)Mn4Cd2 octahedra, edges with four equivalent O(1)Mn4Cd2 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent O(2)Mn2Cd4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Mn(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form OMn2Cd4 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent O(2)Mn2Cd4 octahedra, edges with four equivalent O(2)Mn2Cd4 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent O(1)Mn4Cd2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
