Materials Data on Ce3SiPd5 by Materials Project
Ce3Pd5Si crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to ten Pd and one Si atom. There are a spread of Ce–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.22 Å. The Ce–Si bond length is 3.19 Å. In the second Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to ten Pd and one Si atom. There are a spread of Ce–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.43 Å. The Ce–Si bond length is 3.03 Å. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six Ce, four Pd, and one Si atom. There are a spread of Pd–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.05 Å. The Pd–Si bond length is 2.51 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to six Ce, four equivalent Pd, and two equivalent Si atoms. Both Pd–Si bond lengths are 2.46 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three Ce and six Pd atoms.
