CsGd is alpha Samarium-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. Cs(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cs(1) and six equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form CsCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent Cs(1)Cs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Cs(1)Cs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Gd(1)Cs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Cs(1)Cs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Gd(1)Cs6Gd6 cuboctahedra. Gd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cs(1) and six equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form GdCs6Gd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent Gd(1)Cs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Gd(1)Cs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Cs(1)Cs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Gd(1)Cs6Gd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Cs(1)Cs6Gd6 cuboctahedra.
