The material described by CdHo2S4 is Spinel-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. There are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(2) atoms to form HoS4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ho(2)S6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent Cd(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 57-58°. In the second Ho site, Ho(2) is bonded to two equivalent S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms to form HoS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ho(1)S4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Ho(2)S6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Cd(1)S6 octahedra. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms to form CdS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ho(1)S4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Cd(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Ho(2)S6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Ho(1), two equivalent Ho(2), and one Cd(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to one Ho(1), one Ho(2), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SHo2Cd2 trigonal pyramids. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
