Materials Data on Dy(PPd)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Dy(PdP)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd and eight equivalent P atoms. All Dy–Pd bond lengths are 3.22 Å. All Dy–P bond lengths are 3.10 Å. Pd is bonded to four equivalent Dy, four equivalent Pd, and four equivalent P atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing PdDy4P4Pd4 cuboctahedra. All Pd–Pd bond lengths are 2.89 Å. All Pd–P bond lengths are 2.47 Å. P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy, four equivalent Pd, and one P atom. The P–P bond length is 2.20 Å.
