Li2PdPb is Zintl Phase-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pd(1) and six equivalent Pb(1) atoms to form distorted LiPd4Pb6 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)Pd4Pb6 tetrahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Li(2)Pd6Pb4 tetrahedra, faces with four equivalent Li(2)Pd6Pb4 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Li(1)Pd4Pb6 tetrahedra. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Pb(1) atoms to form distorted LiPd6Pb4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(2)Pd6Pb4 tetrahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Li(1)Pd4Pb6 tetrahedra, faces with four equivalent Li(1)Pd4Pb6 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Li(2)Pd6Pb4 tetrahedra. Pd(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1), six equivalent Li(2), and four equivalent Pb(1) atoms. Pb(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(2), six equivalent Li(1), and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
