YAuCd crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Au(2), four equivalent Au(1), and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Au site, Au(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Au(1), and two equivalent Au(2) atoms.
YAuCd crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Au(2), four equivalent Au(1), and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. The Y(1)-Au(2) bond length is 3.12 Å. All Y(1)-Au(1) bond lengths are 3.07 Å. There are two shorter (3.26 Å) and four longer (3.38 Å) Y(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. All Au(2)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 2.81 Å. In the second Au site, Au(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. All Au(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 2.89 Å. Cd(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Au(1), and two equivalent Au(2) atoms.
