Materials Data on Ho3Pd2 by Materials Project
Ho3Pd2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd atoms. There are two shorter (2.97 Å) and four longer (3.05 Å) Ho–Pd bond lengths. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Pd atoms. All Ho–Pd bond lengths are 3.03 Å. Pd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ho atoms.
