The material structure described by MgCd is beta-prime cadmium gold structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmma space group. Mg(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing MgCd8 cuboctahedra. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Mg(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing CdMg8 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
