Materials Data on LuAlPd by Materials Project
LuPdAl crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Pd and six equivalent Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.91 Å) and four longer (2.92 Å) Lu–Pd bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.16 Å) and four longer (3.23 Å) Lu–Al bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu and six equivalent Al atoms. All Pd–Al bond lengths are 2.63 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Lu and three equivalent Al atoms. All Pd–Al bond lengths are 2.73 Å. Al is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Lu and four Pd atoms.
