Materials Data on NiGe2Pd by Materials Project

Abstract

PdNiGe2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmc2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni and six Ge atoms. Both Pd–Ni bond lengths are 2.91 Å. There are a spread of Pd–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.77 Å. Ni is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd and six Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ni–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.52 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd and two equivalent Ni atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd and four equivalent Ni atoms.
