Materials Data on Dy(SiPd)2 by Materials Project
DyPd2Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd and eight equivalent Si atoms. All Dy–Pd bond lengths are 3.25 Å. All Dy–Si bond lengths are 3.16 Å. Pd is bonded to four equivalent Dy and four equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing PdDy4Si4 tetrahedra. All Pd–Si bond lengths are 2.47 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Dy, four equivalent Pd, and one Si atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.32 Å.
