The compound described by NaLiCdS2 crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. Na(1) is bonded to three equivalent S(1) and three equivalent S(2) atoms to form NaS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)S4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent Na(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent Cd(1)S4 tetrahedra. Li(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one S(1) and three equivalent S(2) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to one S(2) and three equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted CdS4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Na(1)S6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent Cd(1)S4 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent Na(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 17-56°. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Na(1), one Li(1), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Na(1), three equivalent Li(1), and one Cd(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
