YbCdCu4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Cu(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded to three equivalent Yb(1), six equivalent Cu(1), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing CuYb3Cd3Cu6 cuboctahedra. Cd(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and twelve equivalent Cu(1) atoms.
