Materials Data on Gd(PdO2)2 by Materials Project
Gd(PdO2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/a space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O atoms. There are four shorter (2.37 Å) and four longer (2.50 Å) Gd–O bond lengths. Pd is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O atoms. There are two shorter (2.03 Å) and two longer (2.04 Å) Pd–O bond lengths. O is bonded to two equivalent Gd and two equivalent Pd atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OGd2Pd2 tetrahedra.
