The material described by Cd(OH)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(3) and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CdO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are three inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) atom. In the second H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(2) atom. In the third H site, H(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to one O(2) and one O(3) atom. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cd(1) and one H(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one H(2) and one H(3) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cd(1) and one H(3) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
