Materials Data on Pr2CdAu2 by Materials Project
Pr2Au2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pr is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au and four equivalent Cd atoms. There are two shorter (3.04 Å) and four longer (3.15 Å) Pr–Au bond lengths. All Pr–Cd bond lengths are 3.62 Å. Au is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pr and two equivalent Cd atoms. Both Au–Cd bond lengths are 3.25 Å. Cd is bonded to eight equivalent Pr and four equivalent Au atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdPr8Au4 cuboctahedra.
