The material structure described by Cd3Gd is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Gd(1) is bonded to twelve Cd(1,1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing GdCd12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd(1) and eight Cd(1,1) atoms. In the second Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd(1) and eight equivalent Cd(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
