Pr2Ni2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Pr(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pr(1), one Ni(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Pr(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing CdPr8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
Pr2Ni2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Pr(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.93 Å) and four longer (2.97 Å) Pr(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. All Pr(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.37 Å. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pr(1), one Ni(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. The Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond length is 2.42 Å. Both Ni(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.02 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Pr(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing CdPr8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
