Gd3Pd2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. There are two inequivalent Gd sites. In the first Gd site, Gd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Gd site, Gd(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Gd(2) and six equivalent Gd(1) atoms.
Gd3Pd2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. There are two inequivalent Gd sites. In the first Gd site, Gd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.01 Å) and four longer (3.08 Å) Gd(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. In the second Gd site, Gd(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. All Gd(2)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 3.05 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Gd(2) and six equivalent Gd(1) atoms.
