The crystal structure described by MoPd3 is alpha La-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Mo(1) is bonded to six equivalent Mo(1) and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form MoMo6Pd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mo(1)Mo6Pd6 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent Pd(2)Pd12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mo(1)Mo6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Pd(2)Pd12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Mo3Pd9 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Mo(1)Mo6Pd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Mo3Pd9 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded to three equivalent Mo(1), three equivalent Pd(2), and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form PdMo3Pd9 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Mo3Pd9 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mo(1)Mo6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Pd(2)Pd12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Mo3Pd9 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Mo(1)Mo6Pd6 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Pd(1)Mo3Pd9 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent Pd(2)Pd12 cuboctahedra. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(1) and six equivalent Pd(2) atoms to form PdPd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Mo(1)Mo6Pd6 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent Pd(2)Pd12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mo(1)Mo6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Pd(2)Pd12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Mo3Pd9 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Pd(2)Pd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Pd(1)Mo3Pd9 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
