Materials Data on USiPd by Materials Project
UPdSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd and five equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of U–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.25 Å. There are a spread of U–Si bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.01 Å. Pd is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent U and four equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Si bond distances ranging from 2.53–2.64 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent U and four equivalent Pd atoms.
