description: Fe2Cd5(P2O7)4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic C222_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.21 Å. There are four inequivalent Cd2+ sites. In the first Cd2+ site, Cd2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cd–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.46 Å. In the second Cd2+ site, Cd2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CdO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cd–O bond distances ranging from 2.20–2.47 Å. In the third Cd2+ site, Cd2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CdO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra.
