Materials Data on Ga2PdBr8 by Materials Project
PdGa2Br8 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two PdGa2Br8 clusters. Pd2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Br1- atoms. All Pd–Br bond lengths are 2.47 Å. Ga3+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Ga–Br bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.46 Å. There are three inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Pd2+ and one Ga3+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga3+ atom. In the third Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga3+ atom.
