YbNi4Cd 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 Ni(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Yb(1), six equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NiYb3Cd3Ni6 cuboctahedra. Cd(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
YbNi4Cd 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 Ni(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. All Yb(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.84 Å. All Yb(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 2.97 Å. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Yb(1), six equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NiYb3Cd3Ni6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.42 Å) and three longer (2.43 Å) Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. All Ni(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 2.84 Å.
