Materials Data on ErGaPd by Materials Project
ErPdGa crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pd and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Er–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.89–3.11 Å. There are a spread of Er–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.09–3.21 Å. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Er and four equivalent Ga atoms. There are three shorter (2.60 Å) and one longer (2.75 Å) Pd–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er and four equivalent Pd atoms.
