Table 3. Coordinate number (CN), number of Y sites in the CN, CN(Y), number of constituent atoms in the CN, CN(Y), N(Cd), N(Mg) and atomic occupations in the atomic structures of the Y-Cd-Mg 2/1 cAP.

Sites indicated by * and † are common to vertices and edge centres of the RTH shell, respectively.
