The compound described by ErCd2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Er(1) is bonded to two equivalent Er(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ErEr2Cd6 hexagonal bipyramids. Cd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Er(1) and five equivalent Cd(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
