Li(PdSn3)2 is Khatyrkite-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) and eight equivalent Sn(2) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), four equivalent Sn(1), and four equivalent Sn(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
