Ca2Pd2Cd crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Ca(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 Ca(1), one Pd(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Ca(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing CdCa8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
Ca2Pd2Cd crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Ca(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.03 Å) and four longer (3.14 Å) Ca(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.41 Å) and two longer (3.42 Å) Ca(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ca(1), one Pd(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. The Pd(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 2.71 Å. Both Pd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 2.75 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Ca(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing CdCa8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
