Materials Data on ErPPd by Materials Project
ErPdP crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd and five equivalent P atoms. There are a spread of Er–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.00–3.27 Å. There are a spread of Er–P bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.90 Å. Pd is bonded to six equivalent Er, two equivalent Pd, and four equivalent P atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing PdEr6P4Pd2 cuboctahedra. Both Pd–Pd bond lengths are 3.00 Å. There are a spread of Pd–P bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.78 Å. P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Er and four equivalent Pd atoms.
