The material structure described by CsMg6Cd crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. Cs(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(2), four equivalent Mg(1), four equivalent Mg(3), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing CsMg10Cd2 cuboctahedra. There are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs(1), one Mg(2), two equivalent Mg(4), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs(1), two equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent Mg(4), and four equivalent Mg(3) atoms. In the third Mg site, Mg(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs(1), two equivalent Mg(2), two equivalent Mg(4), and one Cd(1) atom. In the fourth Mg site, Mg(4) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(2), four equivalent Mg(1), four equivalent Mg(3), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs(1), two equivalent Mg(3), two equivalent Mg(4), and four equivalent Mg(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
