Nd2Pd2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd(1), one Pd(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing CdNd8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
Nd2Pd2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.93 Å) and four longer (3.07 Å) Nd(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. All Nd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.48 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd(1), one Pd(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. The Pd(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 2.80 Å. Both Pd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.07 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing CdNd8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
