Materials Data on Ce(SbPd)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ce(PdSb)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight Pd and eight Sb atoms. There are four shorter (3.44 Å) and four longer (3.59 Å) Ce–Pd bond lengths. There are four shorter (3.51 Å) and four longer (3.58 Å) Ce–Sb bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce and four equivalent Sb atoms. All Pd–Sb bond lengths are 2.70 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce and five Sb atoms. There are one shorter (2.58 Å) and four longer (2.68 Å) Pd–Sb bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce and four equivalent Pd atoms. In the second Sb site, Sb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce and five Pd atoms.
