Materials Data on Cd3Pd by Materials Project

Abstract

PdCd3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pd is bonded to twelve equivalent Cd atoms to form PdCd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent PdCd12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent CdCd8Pd4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent PdCd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent CdCd8Pd4 cuboctahedra. All Pd–Cd bond lengths are 3.01 Å. Cd is bonded to four equivalent Pd and eight equivalent Cd atoms to form distorted CdCd8Pd4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CdCd8Pd4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent PdCd12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent CdCd8Pd4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent PdCd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent CdCd8Pd4 cuboctahedra. All Cd–Cd bond lengths are 3.01 Å.
