Ce2PdIn8 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded to four equivalent In(1), four equivalent In(2), and four equivalent In(3) atoms to form CeIn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Ce(1)In12 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent In(2)Ce4In8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent In(3)Ce4In8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent In(2)Ce4In8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent In(3)Ce4In8 cuboctahedra, and faces with five equivalent Ce(1)In12 cuboctahedra. Pd(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent In(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent Pd(1), and two equivalent In(2) atoms. In the second In site, In(2) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1), four equivalent In(1), and four equivalent In(3) atoms to form distorted InCe4In8 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight equivalent In(2)Ce4In8 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent Ce(1)In12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent In(3)Ce4In8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Ce(1)In12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent In(3)Ce4In8 cuboctahedra, and faces with five equivalent In(2)Ce4In8 cuboctahedra. In the third In site, In(3) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1), four equivalent In(2), and four equivalent In(3) atoms to form distorted InCe4In8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent In(3)Ce4In8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Ce(1)In12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent In(2)Ce4In8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Ce(1)In12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent In(2)Ce4In8 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent In(3)Ce4In8 cuboctahedra.
