The crystal structure described by Nd2Ru3Pd is Cubic Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent Ru(1) and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded to six equivalent Nd(1), four equivalent Ru(1), and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form RuNd6Pd2Ru4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Pd(1)Nd6Ru6 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Ru(1)Nd6Pd2Ru4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Ru(1)Nd6Pd2Ru4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Pd(1)Nd6Ru6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ru(1)Nd6Pd2Ru4 cuboctahedra. Pd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Nd(1) and six equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form PdNd6Ru6 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Pd(1)Nd6Ru6 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Ru(1)Nd6Pd2Ru4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Pd(1)Nd6Ru6 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen equivalent Ru(1)Nd6Pd2Ru4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
