Materials Data on EuIn4Pd by Materials Project

Abstract

EuPdIn4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd and thirteen In atoms. Both Eu–Pd bond lengths are 3.50 Å. There are a spread of Eu–In bond distances ranging from 3.29–3.86 Å. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Eu and seven In atoms. There are a spread of Pd–In bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.84 Å. There are three inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to four equivalent Eu and six In atoms. There are four shorter (3.19 Å) and two longer (3.20 Å) In–In bond lengths. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Eu, three equivalent Pd, and one In atom. In the third In site, In is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Eu, one Pd, and four equivalent In atoms.
