Materials Data on CdSO4 by Materials Project
CdSO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmn2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cd2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cd–O bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.54 Å. S6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.48 Å) and two longer (1.51 Å) S–O bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cd2+ and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cd2+ and one S6+ atom.
