Materials Data on LuGePd2 by Materials Project

Abstract

LuPd2Ge is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd and three equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.11 Å. There are a spread of Lu–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.02 Å. Pd is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu and three equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.64 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu and six equivalent Pd atoms.
