La2Au2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Au(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1), one Au(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing CdLa8Au4 cuboctahedra.
La2Au2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.05 Å) and four longer (3.18 Å) La(1)-Au(1) bond lengths. All La(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.62 Å. Au(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1), one Au(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. The Au(1)-Au(1) bond length is 2.96 Å. Both Au(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.21 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing CdLa8Au4 cuboctahedra.
