Y3Cd is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Y(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Y(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form distorted YY8Cd4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Y(1)Y8Cd4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Cd(1)Y12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Y(1)Y8Cd4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Cd(1)Y12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent Y(1)Y8Cd4 cuboctahedra. Cd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Y(1) atoms to form CdY12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Cd(1)Y12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent Y(1)Y8Cd4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Cd(1)Y12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Y(1)Y8Cd4 cuboctahedra.
