β¦ Synopsis
The previously determined structure of cadmium diborate, Cd 2 B 2 O 5 , has been re-investigated and a change in spacegroup symmetry from P1 to P1 evidenced. Cd 2 B 2 O 5 crystallizes isotypically with other triclinic members of the M 2 B 2 O 5 (M = Mg, Mn, Co, Fe) family and is composed of slightly distorted [CdO 6 ] octahedra, forming ribbons built of four condensed single-chains and diborate anions, B 2 O 5 2Γ , which are composed of corner-sharing BO 3 triangles and which interconnect adjacent ribbons.
