The crystal structure described by Mg14CdC crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. There are seven inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(6), two equivalent Mg(7), and four equivalent Mg(4) atoms. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(7), four equivalent Mg(4), and four equivalent Mg(5) atoms. In the third Mg site, Mg(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Mg(6), two equivalent Cd(1), and one C(1) atom. In the fourth Mg site, Mg(4) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent Mg(2), two equivalent Mg(6), and two equivalent Mg(7) atoms. In the fifth Mg site, Mg(5) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mg(2), two equivalent Mg(6), one Cd(1), and one C(1) atom. In the sixth Mg site, Mg(6) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Mg(1), two equivalent Mg(3), two equivalent Mg(4), four equivalent Mg(5), and one Cd(1) atom. In the seventh Mg site, Mg(7) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mg(1), one Mg(2), two equivalent Mg(4), one Cd(1), and one C(1) atom. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(6), two equivalent Mg(7), four equivalent Mg(3), and four equivalent Mg(5) atoms to form corner-sharing CdMg12 cuboctahedra. C(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(3), two equivalent Mg(7), and four equivalent Mg(5) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
