Materials Data on Te2Pd3 by Materials Project
Pd3Te2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd and five Te atoms. There are two shorter (2.93 Å) and two longer (3.03 Å) Pd–Pd bond lengths. There are one shorter (2.66 Å) and four longer (2.85 Å) Pd–Te bond lengths. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Pd and five Te atoms. There are one shorter (2.96 Å) and two longer (3.17 Å) Pd–Pd bond lengths. There are three shorter (2.75 Å) and two longer (2.91 Å) Pd–Te bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Pd atoms. In the second Te site, Te is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Pd atoms.
