The material structure described by Sm(NiCd10)2 crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cd(3) and twelve equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cd(1) and six equivalent Cd(2) atoms to form NiCd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ni(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent Cd(1)SmCd10Ni cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent Cd(1)SmCd10Ni cuboctahedra. There are three inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), four equivalent Cd(2), and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded to one Sm(1), one Ni(1), two equivalent Cd(3), three equivalent Cd(2), and five equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form distorted CdSmCd10Ni cuboctahedra that share corners with fifteen equivalent Cd(1)SmCd10Ni cuboctahedra, edges with two equivalent Cd(1)SmCd10Ni cuboctahedra, edges with three equivalent Ni(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra,  a faceface with one Ni(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fifteen equivalent Cd(1)SmCd10Ni cuboctahedra. In the third Cd site, Cd(3) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Sm(1) and twelve equivalent Cd(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
