Li2PdSn is Zintl Phase-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pd(1) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form distorted LiSn6Pd4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)Sn6Pd4 tetrahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Li(2)Sn4Pd6 tetrahedra, faces with four equivalent Li(2)Sn4Pd6 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Li(1)Sn6Pd4 tetrahedra. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form distorted LiSn4Pd6 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(2)Sn4Pd6 tetrahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Li(1)Sn6Pd4 tetrahedra, faces with four equivalent Li(1)Sn6Pd4 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Li(2)Sn4Pd6 tetrahedra. Pd(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1), six equivalent Li(2), and four equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(2), six equivalent Li(1), and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
