The compound described by La4PtCd crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. There are three inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Pt(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the third La site, La(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La(1), three equivalent La(2), and three equivalent La(3) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to three equivalent La(1), three equivalent La(2), three equivalent La(3), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing CdLa9Cd3 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
