The title compound, (C20H20P)[Cd(C2N3)3], consists of ethyltriphenylphosphonium (EtPh3P+) cations filling voids in a three-dimensional anionic cadmium dicyanamide network. In the structure, each CdIIatom is connected to six neighbouring CdIIatoms through six separate dicyanamide ligands, forming cube-shaped cages. The three-dimensional anionic network encloses a solvent-accessible void space of 1851 Å3, amounting to 69.3% of the unit-cell volume. Each cage accommodates only one EtPh3P+cation.
