There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.36–1.43 Å. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.35–1.42 Å. In the third B3+ site, B3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CdO6 pentagonal pyramid and corners with two BO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.55 Å. In the fourth B3+ site, B3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CdO6 pentagonal pyramids and corners with two BO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.51 Å. In the fifth B3+ site, B3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CdO6 pentagonal pyramid, corners with two BO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one CdO6 pentagonal pyramid. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.50 Å. In the sixth B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.37 Å) and two longer (1.38 Å) B–O bond length. Pb2+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–3.19 Å.
