Materials Data on Rb3Pd by Materials Project
Rb3Pd crystallizes in the cubic Im-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of two Rb3Pd frameworks. Rb is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Pd atoms. There are one shorter (3.25 Å) and one longer (4.23 Å) Rb–Pd bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a cuboctahedral geometry to twelve equivalent Rb atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Rb atoms.
