A study is reported of the principal components of the /sup 113/Cd NMR shielding tensors in the salts 3CdSO/sub 4/.8H/sub 2/O and CdSO/sub 4/.H/sub 2/O. A discussion of the sensitivity of the principal components of the /sup 113/Cd shielding tensors to coordination of the cadmium with nearest-neighbor oxygens is presented. An apparent anomaly between the observed shielding anisotropies and the proposed Cd-O bonding distances for 3CdSO/sub 4/.8H/sub 2/O has prompted a refinement of the original crystal structure proposed by Lipson. The refined Cd-O bonding distances are found to be more uniform than those originally reported, in agreement with information inferred from the observed /sup 113/Cd NMR shielding anisotropies.
