The crystal structure described by La3Cd is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. La(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent La(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent La(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdLa12 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
