The material structure described by Be15Zr6Pd8 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. There are three inequivalent Be sites. In the first Be site, Be(2) is bonded to four equivalent Be(1), four equivalent Zr(1), and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing BeZr4Be4Pd4 cuboctahedra. In the second Be site, Be(3) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the third Be site, Be(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Be(1), three equivalent Be(2), three equivalent Zr(1), and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Zr(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Be(1), four equivalent Be(2), and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Be(3), three equivalent Be(1), three equivalent Be(2), and three equivalent Zr(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
