GdPb3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded to twelve equivalent Pb atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing GdPb12 cuboctahedra. All Gd–Pb bond lengths are 3.48 Å. Pb is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Gd atoms.
Gd5Pb3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Gd sites. In the first Gd site, Gd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Pb atoms. All Gd–Pb bond lengths are 3.29 Å. In the second Gd site, Gd is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Pb atoms. There are a spread of Gd–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.18–3.67 Å. In the third Gd site, Gd is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Pb atoms. There are a spread of Gd–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.17–3.67 Å. There are two inequivalent Pb sites. In the first Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Gd atoms. In the second Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Gd atoms.
