The compound described by MgPd3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mg(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing MgPd12 cuboctahedra. Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
