Materials Data on HoGa2Pd by Materials Project
HoPdGa2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pd and ten equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.49 Å. There are a spread of Ho–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.37 Å. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ho and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are two shorter (2.66 Å) and four longer (2.67 Å) Pd–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ho, three equivalent Pd, and two equivalent Ga atoms. There are one shorter (2.61 Å) and one longer (2.67 Å) Ga–Ga bond lengths.
