Ce6Pd13Cd4 crystallizes in the cubic Im-3m space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Pd(1) and four equivalent Pd(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(2) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CdPd6 cuboctahedra.
Ce6Pd13Cd4 crystallizes in the cubic Im-3m space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Pd(1) and four equivalent Pd(2) atoms. The Ce(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 2.96 Å. All Ce(1)-Pd(2) bond lengths are 2.92 Å. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Both Pd(2)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 2.80 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(2) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CdPd6 cuboctahedra.
