Materials Data on GdCdPd by Materials Project

Abstract

GdPdCd crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five Pd and six equivalent Cd atoms. There are four shorter (3.05 Å) and one longer (3.11 Å) Gd–Pd bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.27 Å) and four longer (3.37 Å) Gd–Cd bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Gd and six equivalent Cd atoms. All Pd–Cd bond lengths are 2.78 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd and three equivalent Cd atoms. All Pd–Cd bond lengths are 2.90 Å. Cd is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd and four Pd atoms.
