The compound described by Ho2Pd2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho(1), one Pd(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Ho(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing CdHo8Pd4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
