Materials Data on CeIn4Pd by Materials Project

Abstract

CePdIn4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd and thirteen In atoms. Both Ce–Pd bond lengths are 3.55 Å. There are a spread of Ce–In bond distances ranging from 3.18–3.77 Å. Pd is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce and seven In atoms. There are a spread of Pd–In bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.84 Å. There are three inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to four equivalent Ce and six In atoms. There are two shorter (3.15 Å) and four longer (3.17 Å) In–In bond lengths. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce, three equivalent Pd, and one In atom. In the third In site, In is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to three equivalent Ce, one Pd, and four equivalent In atoms.
