Lu3Cd is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Lu(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Lu(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form distorted LuLu8Cd4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Lu(1)Lu8Cd4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Cd(1)Lu12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Lu(1)Lu8Cd4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Cd(1)Lu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent Lu(1)Lu8Cd4 cuboctahedra. Cd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Lu(1) atoms to form CdLu12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Cd(1)Lu12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent Lu(1)Lu8Cd4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Cd(1)Lu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Lu(1)Lu8Cd4 cuboctahedra.
