The crystal structure described by MgPd5P crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Mg(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pd(2) and eight equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing MgPd12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Pd(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
