The structure described by Mg3Pd5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. There are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent Pd(2), two equivalent Pd(3), and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(3), four equivalent Pd(1), and four equivalent Pd(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Mg(2) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Mg(1) and four equivalent Mg(2) atoms. In the third Pd site, Pd(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Mg(2) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
