It is a colorless solid. According to X-ray crystallography, it is a coordination polymer. The Ca²⁺ ions are each bonded to eight thiocyanate anions, with four Ca-S and four Ca-N bonds. The motif is reminiscent of the fluorite structure.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1021/acs.inorgchem.4c00920 |title=Inorganic Metal Thiocyanates |date=2024 |last1=Cliffe |first1=Matthew J. |journal=Inorganic Chemistry |volume=63 |issue=29 |pages=13137–13156 |pmid=38980309 |pmc=11271006 }}</ref>
