Materials Data on Y5(In2Pd)2 by Materials Project
Y5(PdIn2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd and six In atoms. All Y–Pd bond lengths are 2.99 Å. There are a spread of Y–In bond distances ranging from 3.34–3.41 Å. In the second Y site, Y is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd and six In atoms. Both Y–Pd bond lengths are 2.88 Å. There are a spread of Y–In bond distances ranging from 3.25–3.38 Å. In the third Y site, Y is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight In atoms. There are four shorter (3.24 Å) and four longer (3.37 Å) Y–In bond lengths. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Y and three In atoms. There are a spread of Pd–In bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.31 Å. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight Y, two equivalent Pd, and one In atom. The In–In bond length is 3.36 Å. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to eight Y, one Pd, and one In atom.
