Materials Data on Nd(PdO2)2 by Materials Project
Nd(PdO2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/a space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.44 Å) and four longer (2.53 Å) Nd–O bond lengths. Pd3+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.03 Å) and two longer (2.04 Å) Pd–O bond lengths. O2- is bonded to two equivalent Nd2+ and two equivalent Pd3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ONd2Pd2 tetrahedra.
