YPd2P2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd(1) and eight equivalent P(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Y(1), four equivalent Pd(1), and four equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing PdY4P4Pd4 cuboctahedra. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y(1), four equivalent Pd(1), and one P(1) atom.
