PuPd3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Pu(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pd(2) and eight equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing PuPd12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing PdPu4 cuboctahedra. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Pu(1) atoms.
