Lu2Pd2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Lu(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing CdLu8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
Lu2Pd2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Lu(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.79 Å) and four longer (2.91 Å) Lu(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. All Lu(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.34 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Both Pd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 2.97 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Lu(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing CdLu8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
