LaPdCu crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. La(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Pd(2), four equivalent Pd(1), and six equivalent Cu(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La(1) and six equivalent Cu(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1) and three equivalent Cu(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1), two equivalent Pd(1), and two equivalent Pd(2) atoms.
LaPdCu crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. La(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Pd(2), four equivalent Pd(1), and six equivalent Cu(1) atoms. The La(1)-Pd(2) bond length is 2.97 Å. All La(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 3.03 Å. There are four shorter (3.28 Å) and two longer (3.32 Å) La(1)-Cu(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La(1) and six equivalent Cu(1) atoms. All Pd(2)-Cu(1) bond lengths are 2.71 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La(1) and three equivalent Cu(1) atoms. All Pd(1)-Cu(1) bond lengths are 2.86 Å.
