Materials Data on YSiPd2 by Materials Project

Abstract

YPd2Si crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to ten equivalent Pd and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Y–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.50 Å. There are a spread of Y–Si bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.01 Å. Pd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y, four equivalent Pd, and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.77–3.06 Å. There are a spread of Pd–Si bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.62 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y and six equivalent Pd atoms.
