SmPd3Ge is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Sm(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form SmPd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Sm(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Sm(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Ge(1)Pd6 octahedra. Pd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Sm(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing PdSm4Ge2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-60°. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form GePd6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ge(1)Pd6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Sm(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.

All Sm(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 3.33 Å. Pd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Sm(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing PdSm4Ge2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-60°. Both Pd(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.36 Å. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form GePd6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ge(1)Pd6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Sm(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
