The structure described by MgCd3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form MgCd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Mg(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent Cd(1)Mg4Cd8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Mg(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Cd(1)Mg4Cd8 cuboctahedra. Cd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mg(1) and eight equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form CdMg4Cd8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Cd(1)Mg4Cd8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Mg(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Cd(1)Mg4Cd8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Mg(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent Cd(1)Mg4Cd8 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
