Materials Data on Ho(SiPd)2 by Materials Project
HoPd2Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd and eight equivalent Si atoms. All Ho–Pd bond lengths are 3.25 Å. All Ho–Si bond lengths are 3.14 Å. Pd is bonded to four equivalent Ho and four equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing PdHo4Si4 tetrahedra. All Pd–Si bond lengths are 2.47 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho, four equivalent Pd, and one Si atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.31 Å.
