Materials Data on VPd3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Pd3V is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded to twelve equivalent Pd atoms to form VPd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent VPd12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent PdV4Pd8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent VPd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent PdV4Pd8 cuboctahedra. All V–Pd bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Pd is bonded to four equivalent V and eight equivalent Pd atoms to form distorted PdV4Pd8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent PdV4Pd8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent VPd12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent PdV4Pd8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent VPd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent PdV4Pd8 cuboctahedra. All Pd–Pd bond lengths are 2.76 Å.
