LaCd3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. La(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent Cd(2) and eight equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Cd(2) atoms. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1) and eight equivalent Cd(1) atoms.
