The compound described by Yb2Pd2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Yb(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing CdYb8Pd4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
