The material described by K2CdN12 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. K(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one N(3), one N(4), and one N(6) atom. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(4) and four equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CdN6 octahedra. There are six inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Cd(1) and one N(2) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(1) and one N(3) atom. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to one K(1) and one N(2) atom. In the fourth N site, N(4) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one K(1), one Cd(1), and one N(5) atom. In the fifth N site, N(5) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(4) and one N(6) atom. In the sixth N site, N(6) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one K(1) and one N(5) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
