The compound described by Y3Pd2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. There are three inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Y site, Y(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the third Y site, Y(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Y(1), two equivalent Y(2), five equivalent Y(3), and one Pd(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
