TaCd3 crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. There are two inequivalent Ta sites. In the first Ta site, Ta(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Ta(2), three equivalent Cd(1), and three equivalent Cd(2) atoms. The Ta(1)-Ta(2) bond length is 2.19 Å. All Ta(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 2.49 Å. All Ta(1)-Cd(2) bond lengths are 2.49 Å. In the second Ta site, Ta(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ta(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. All Ta(2)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 1.54 Å. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Ta(1), one Ta(2), and one Cd(2) atom. The Cd(1)-Cd(2) bond length is 1.27 Å. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ta(1) and one Cd(1) atom.
