Materials Data on Tl3PdBr5 by Materials Project

Abstract

PdTl3Br5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pd2+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Br bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.48 Å. There are three inequivalent Tl1+ sites. In the first Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–Br bond distances ranging from 3.16–3.90 Å. In the second Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–Br bond distances ranging from 3.27–3.94 Å. In the third Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–Br bond distances ranging from 3.36–4.03 Å. There are five inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Pd2+ and five Tl1+ atoms. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Tl1+ atoms. In the third Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Pd2+ and four Tl1+ atoms. In the fourth Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Pd2+ and five Tl1+ atoms. In the fifth Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Pd2+ and five Tl1+ atoms.
