Cd(PO3)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cd2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CdO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent CdO6 pentagonal pyramids. There are a spread of Cd–O bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.50 Å. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent CdO6 pentagonal pyramids and corners with two equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.62 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent CdO6 pentagonal pyramids and corners with two equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.62 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cd2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cd2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ and one P5+ atom.
