LiVPd4 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(2) and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. There are three shorter (3.14 Å) and one longer (3.26 Å) Li(1)-Pd(2) bond length. All Li(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 2.81 Å. V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd(1) and three equivalent Pd(2) atoms. All V(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 1.88 Å. All V(1)-Pd(2) bond lengths are 3.13 Å. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1), three equivalent V(1), and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms. All Pd(2)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 1.55 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1), one V(1), one Pd(2), and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Both Pd(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 0.90 Å.
