Materials Data on SmGePd2 by Materials Project

Abstract

SmPd2Ge is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd and three equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Sm–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.20 Å. There are a spread of Sm–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.12 Å. Pd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm and three equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.69 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sm and six equivalent Pd atoms.
