The Materials Project

YCd3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve Cd atoms. There are a spread of Y–Cd bond distances ranging from 3.21–3.61 Å. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y and eight equivalent Cd atoms. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.34 Å. In the second Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y and seven Cd atoms. There are one shorter (3.09 Å) and two longer (3.21 Å) Cd–Cd bond lengths.
