The crystal structure described by Ba(PtCd2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Ba(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing BaPt6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. Pt(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
