The crystal structure described by Yb3Pd is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Yb site, Yb(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(2) and six equivalent Yb(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
