Materials Data on TbCd2 by Materials Project
TbCd2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb is bonded to twelve equivalent Cd atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing TbCd12 cuboctahedra. All Tb–Cd bond lengths are 3.36 Å. Cd is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Tb and five equivalent Cd atoms. There are three shorter (2.88 Å) and two longer (3.46 Å) Cd–Cd bond lengths.
