Materials Data on ThCd2 by Materials Project
ThCd2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Th and twelve equivalent Cd atoms. Both Th–Th bond lengths are 3.38 Å. All Th–Cd bond lengths are 3.42 Å. Cd is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Th and five equivalent Cd atoms. There are three shorter (2.97 Å) and two longer (3.38 Å) Cd–Cd bond lengths.
