The material described by Cd2(GeO3)3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(4), one O(6), one O(7), and one O(9) atom. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded to one O(2), one O(6), one O(8), one O(9), and two equivalent O(7) atoms to form distorted CdO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent Ge(3)O4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one Cd(2)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Ge(2)O6 octahedra. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), one O(8), and one O(9) atom to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Ge(2)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Cd(2)O6 octahedra, and  a cornercorner with one Ge(3)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-59°. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(4), one O(6), and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form GeO6 octahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent Ge(3)O4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one Cd(2)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Ge(2)O6 octahedra. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(7) atom to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Ge(2)O6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent Cd(2)O6 octahedra, and  a cornercorner with one Ge(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 53-64°. There are nine inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cd(1), one Ge(2), and one Ge(3) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Cd(2), one Ge(2), and one Ge(3) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ge(1) and one Ge(3) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cd(1), one Ge(1), and one Ge(2) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Cd(1), one Cd(2), and one Ge(2) atom. In the seventh O site, O(7) is bonded to one Cd(1), two equivalent Cd(2), and one Ge(3) atom to form distorted edge-sharing OCd3Ge trigonal pyramids. In the eighth O site, O(8) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cd(2) and one Ge(1) atom. In the ninth O site, O(9) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cd(1), one Cd(2), and one Ge(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
