Materials Data on YbSiPd2 by Materials Project

Abstract

YbPd2Si crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to ten equivalent Pd and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Yb–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.43 Å. There are a spread of Yb–Si bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.00 Å. Pd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Yb, four equivalent Pd, and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.74–3.10 Å. There are a spread of Pd–Si bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.56 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb and six equivalent Pd atoms.
