Materials Data on Yb2Sn5Pd3 by Materials Project
Yb2Pd3Sn5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five Pd and eight Sn atoms. There are a spread of Yb–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.38 Å. There are a spread of Yb–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.20–3.44 Å. In the second Yb site, Yb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd and six Sn atoms. Both Yb–Pd bond lengths are 3.29 Å. There are four shorter (3.24 Å) and two longer (3.27 Å) Yb–Sn bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three Yb and six Sn atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.74–2.94 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb and five Sn atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.69–2.83 Å. In the third Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Sn atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.91 Å. There are five inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb and four Pd atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb, three equivalent Pd, and one Sn atom. The Sn–Sn bond length is 3.10 Å. In the third Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb and four Pd atoms. In the fourth Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb and four Pd atoms. In the fifth Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four Yb, three Pd, and one Sn atom.
