Gd2Pd2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Gd(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 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1), one Pd(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Gd(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdGd8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
Gd2Pd2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.87 Å) and four longer (3.01 Å) Gd(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. All Gd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.42 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd(1), one Pd(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. The Pd(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 2.81 Å. Both Pd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.04 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Gd(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdGd8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
