Materials Data on EuCd2 by Materials Project
EuCd2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Cd atoms. There are a spread of Eu–Cd bond distances ranging from 3.42–3.65 Å. Cd is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Eu and four equivalent Cd atoms. There are three shorter (2.93 Å) and one longer (3.07 Å) Cd–Cd bond lengths.
