The material structure described by MgPd5 crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(1) and six equivalent Pd(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MgPd12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mg(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Mg(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
