PdTa crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Ta(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ta(1) and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form distorted TaTa6Pd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ta(1)Ta6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Ta(1)Ta6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Ta6Pd6 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Ta(1)Ta6Pd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Ta6Pd6 cuboctahedra. Pd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ta(1) and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form distorted PdTa6Pd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Ta6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Ta(1)Ta6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Ta6Pd6 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Pd(1)Ta6Pd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ta(1)Ta6Pd6 cuboctahedra.
