LiCd3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing LiCd12 cuboctahedra. Cd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Li(1) atoms.
LiCd3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing LiCd12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.98 Å) and six longer (3.06 Å) Li(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths. Cd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Li(1) atoms.
