U3Cd is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. There are two inequivalent U sites. In the first U site, U(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent U(2) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second U site, U(2) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent U(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent U(2) and eight equivalent U(1) atoms.
