CePd7 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Ce(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form CePd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ce(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra and faces with six equivalent Pd(2)Pd12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded to twelve equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form PdPd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Pd(2)Pd12 cuboctahedra and faces with six equivalent Ce(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Ce(1) and two equivalent Pd(2) atoms.
