PdCo2 is beta-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. Co(1) is bonded to nine equivalent Co(1) and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form CoCo9Pd3 cuboctahedra that share corners with three equivalent Pd(1)Co6Pd6 cuboctahedra, corners with nine equivalent Co(1)Co9Pd3 cuboctahedra, edges with nine equivalent Pd(1)Co6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with fifteen equivalent Co(1)Co9Pd3 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Pd(1)Co6Pd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Co(1)Co9Pd3 cuboctahedra. Pd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Co(1) and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form PdCo6Pd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Co(1)Co9Pd3 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent Pd(1)Co6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Pd(1)Co6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent Co(1)Co9Pd3 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Pd(1)Co6Pd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Co(1)Co9Pd3 cuboctahedra.
