Au3Cd is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Au(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdAu12 cuboctahedra.
Au3Cd is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Au(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.92 Å) and two longer (2.97 Å) Au(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths. Cd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdAu12 cuboctahedra.
