Materials Data on TmSiPd2 by Materials Project

Abstract

TmPd2Si is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tm is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Tm–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.18 Å. There are two shorter (2.96 Å) and one longer (3.00 Å) Tm–Si bond lengths. Pd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tm and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Si bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.61 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Tm and six equivalent Pd atoms.
