Materials Data on Pd(XeF8)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Pd(XeF8)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pca2_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four Pd(XeF8)2 clusters. there are two inequivalent Xe sites. In the first Xe site, Xe is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six F atoms. There are a spread of Xe–F bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.45 Å. In the second Xe site, Xe is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six F atoms. There are a spread of Xe–F bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.47 Å. Pd is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F atoms. There are a spread of Pd–F bond distances ranging from 1.94–1.97 Å. There are sixteen inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pd atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the fourth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the fifth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the sixth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the seventh F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the eighth F site, F is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pd atom. In the ninth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the tenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pd atom. In the eleventh F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pd atom. In the twelfth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the thirteenth F site, F is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Xe and one Pd atom. In the fourteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the fifteenth F site, F is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Xe and one Pd atom. In the sixteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom.
