The structure described by CdSnTe2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Cd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form CdTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Sn(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Cd(1)Te6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Sn(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. Sn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form SnTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cd(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Cd(1)Te6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Sn(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent Cd(1) and three equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing TeCd3Sn3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
