Materials Data on CeZnPd by Materials Project
CePdZn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pd and six equivalent Zn atoms. There are one shorter (2.91 Å) and four longer (3.08 Å) Ce–Pd bond lengths. There are a spread of Ce–Zn bond distances ranging from 3.11–3.37 Å. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ce and four equivalent Zn atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.74 Å. Zn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce and four equivalent Pd atoms.
