Materials Data on Tl3PdCl5 by Materials Project

Abstract

PdTl3Cl5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pd2+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.34 Å. There are three inequivalent Tl1+ sites. In the first Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.79 Å. In the second Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.24–3.86 Å. In the third Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.14–3.77 Å. There are five inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Tl1+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Pd2+ and five Tl1+ atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Pd2+ and five Tl1+ atoms. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Pd2+ and four Tl1+ atoms. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Pd2+ and five Tl1+ atoms.
