Materials Data on Pu3Pd5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Pu3Pd5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pu sites. In the first Pu site, Pu is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Pd atoms. There are a spread of Pu–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.23 Å. In the second Pu site, Pu is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Pd atoms. There are a spread of Pu–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.20 Å. There are three inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six Pu and four Pd atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.08 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Pu and four Pd atoms. There are one shorter (2.85 Å) and one longer (2.88 Å) Pd–Pd bond lengths. In the third Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Pu and six Pd atoms.
