Materials Data on Ba(BiPd)2 by Materials Project
Ba(PdBi)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to eight Pd and eight Bi atoms. There are a spread of Ba–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.40–3.92 Å. There are a spread of Ba–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.70–3.84 Å. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba and five Bi atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Bi bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.88 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba, two equivalent Pd, and four equivalent Bi atoms. Both Pd–Pd bond lengths are 3.15 Å. There are a spread of Pd–Bi bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.88 Å. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba and five Pd atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba and four equivalent Pd atoms.
