The compound described by LiCd3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing LiCd12 cuboctahedra. Cd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Li(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
