MoPd2 is alpha La-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Mo(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mo(1) and ten equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form MoMo2Pd10 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent Mo(1)Mo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, corners with ten equivalent Pd(1)Mo5Pd7 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Mo(1)Mo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Mo5Pd7 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Mo(1)Mo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent Pd(1)Mo5Pd7 cuboctahedra. Pd(1) is bonded to five equivalent Mo(1) and seven equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form PdMo5Pd7 cuboctahedra that share corners with five equivalent Mo(1)Mo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, corners with seven equivalent Pd(1)Mo5Pd7 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mo(1)Mo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent Pd(1)Mo5Pd7 cuboctahedra, faces with seven equivalent Mo(1)Mo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, and faces with eleven equivalent Pd(1)Mo5Pd7 cuboctahedra.

Both Mo(1)-Mo(1) bond lengths are 2.75 Å. There are two shorter (2.75 Å) and eight longer (2.76 Å) Mo(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. Pd(1) is bonded to five equivalent Mo(1) and seven equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form PdMo5Pd7 cuboctahedra that share corners with five equivalent Mo(1)Mo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, corners with seven equivalent Pd(1)Mo5Pd7 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mo(1)Mo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent Pd(1)Mo5Pd7 cuboctahedra, faces with seven equivalent Mo(1)Mo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, and faces with eleven equivalent Pd(1)Mo5Pd7 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Pd(1)-Pd(1) bond distances ranging from 2.72-2.78 Å.
