Materials Data on LaB2Pd2C by Materials Project
LaPd2B2C crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La3+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent C3- atoms. All La–C bond lengths are 2.80 Å. Pd3+ is bonded to four equivalent B3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing PdB4 tetrahedra. All Pd–B bond lengths are 2.28 Å. B3- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Pd3+ and one C3- atom. The B–C bond length is 1.48 Å. C3- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent La3+ and two equivalent B3- atoms.
