The compound described by CdCN2 is Cyanogen Chloride-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of three CdCN2 clusters. Cd(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one C(1) and one N(1) atom. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Cd(1) and one N(2) atom. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cd(1) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
