Pm3Cd is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Pm(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pm(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Pm(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdPm12 cuboctahedra.
Pm3Cd is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Pm(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pm(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are a spread of Pm(1)-Pm(1) bond distances ranging from 3.38-3.75 Å. There are two shorter (3.38 Å) and two longer (3.57 Å) Pm(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths. Cd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Pm(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdPm12 cuboctahedra.
