Materials Data on DyPPd by Materials Project

Abstract

DyPdP crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd and five equivalent P atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.24 Å. There are a spread of Dy–P bond distances ranging from 2.85–2.91 Å. Pd is bonded to six equivalent Dy, two equivalent Pd, and four equivalent P atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing PdDy6P4Pd2 cuboctahedra. Both Pd–Pd bond lengths are 3.02 Å. There are three shorter (2.56 Å) and one longer (2.73 Å) Pd–P bond lengths. P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Dy and four equivalent Pd atoms.
