Mg Cd Cd Cd Cd Cd
MgCd2(Cd)3 is Tungsten Carbide structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one Cd cluster and one MgCd2 cluster. In the Cd cluster, there are three inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Cd(2) atom. The Cd(1)-Cd(2) bond length is 2.18 Å. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cd(1) and one Cd(3) atom. The Cd(2)-Cd(3) bond length is 0.47 Å. In the third Cd site, Cd(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cd(2) atom. In the MgCd2 cluster, Mg(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cd(4) and one Cd(5) atom. The Mg(1)-Cd(4) bond length is 2.18 Å. The Mg(1)-Cd(5) bond length is 0.47 Å. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mg(1) atom. In the second Cd site, Cd(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mg(1) atom.
