Materials Data on Zn2PdO4 by Materials Project
PdZn2O4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pd4+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form PdO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent ZnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. All Pd–O bond lengths are 2.02 Å. Zn2+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PdO4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent ZnO6 octahedra. All Zn–O bond lengths are 2.10 Å. O2- is bonded to one Pd4+ and three equivalent Zn2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OZn3Pd trigonal pyramids.
