Materials Data on Ho(PPd)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ho(PdP)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd and eight equivalent P atoms. All Ho–Pd bond lengths are 3.21 Å. All Ho–P bond lengths are 3.09 Å. Pd is bonded to four equivalent Ho, four equivalent Pd, and four equivalent P atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing PdHo4P4Pd4 cuboctahedra. All Pd–Pd bond lengths are 2.89 Å. All Pd–P bond lengths are 2.47 Å. P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho, four equivalent Pd, and one P atom. The P–P bond length is 2.19 Å.
