Ba21(Cd2Bi9)2 is Magnesium tetraboride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are twelve inequivalent Ba sites. In the first Ba site, Ba is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cd and seven Bi atoms. Both Ba–Cd bond lengths are 3.70 Å. There are a spread of Ba–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.72–4.13 Å. In the second Ba site, Ba is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two Cd and six Bi atoms. There are one shorter (3.74 Å) and one longer (3.84 Å) Ba–Cd bond lengths. There are a spread of Ba–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.50–4.24 Å. In the third Ba site, Ba is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Cd and six Bi atoms. The Ba–Cd bond length is 3.81 Å. There are a spread of Ba–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.52–3.93 Å.
