The compound described by Mg3Pd is Sodium arsenide structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. There are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg(1) and eight equivalent Mg(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
