MgPd3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mg(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing MgPd12 cuboctahedra. Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) atoms.
MgPd3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mg(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing MgPd12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.78 Å) and six longer (2.80 Å) Mg(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) atoms.
