Y10RuCd3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. There are three inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Y site, Y(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ru(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the third Y site, Y(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ru(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(3) and six equivalent Y(2) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Y(3), six equivalent Y(2), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms.
Y10RuCd3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. There are three inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. All Y(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.12 Å. In the second Y site, Y(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ru(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. The Y(2)-Ru(1) bond length is 2.79 Å. There is one shorter (3.45 Å) and two longer (3.57 Å) Y(2)-Cd(1) bond lengths. In the third Y site, Y(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ru(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. The Y(3)-Ru(1) bond length is 3.47 Å. Both Y(3)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.17 Å. Ru(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(3) and six equivalent Y(2) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(1), two equivalent Y(3), six equivalent Y(2), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Both Cd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.31 Å.
