CaH2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to eleven H1- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–H bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.74 Å. There are two inequivalent H1- sites. In the first H1- site, H1- is bonded to six equivalent Ca2+ atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing HCa6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–52°. In the second H1- site, H1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ca2+ atoms.
