The crystal structure described by Li3Cd crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(2) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded to six equivalent Li(1) and six equivalent Li(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing LiLi12 cuboctahedra. Cd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Li(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
