PdCdP2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one PdCdP2 cluster. Pd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cd(1) and one P(2) atom. The Pd(1)-Cd(1) bond length is 0.58 Å. The Pd(1)-P(2) bond length is 0.58 Å. Cd(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pd(1), one P(1), and one P(2) atom. The Cd(1)-P(1) bond length is 0.63 Å. The Cd(1)-P(2) bond length is 0.04 Å. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Cd(1) and one P(2) atom. The P(1)-P(2) bond length is 0.63 Å. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pd(1), one Cd(1), and one P(1) atom.
