The structure described by Na3Cd is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Na(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Na(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdNa12 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
