Materials Data on Nd2InPd2 by Materials Project
Nd2Pd2In crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd and four equivalent In atoms. There are two shorter (2.94 Å) and four longer (3.09 Å) Nd–Pd bond lengths. All Nd–In bond lengths are 3.50 Å. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nd, one Pd, and two equivalent In atoms. The Pd–Pd bond length is 2.82 Å. Both Pd–In bond lengths are 3.11 Å. In is bonded to eight equivalent Nd and four equivalent Pd atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing InNd8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
