Materials Data on PdSeO3 by Materials Project

Abstract

PdSeO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one PdSeO3 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Pd2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.04 Å) and two longer (2.05 Å) Pd–O bond lengths. Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.71 Å) and one longer (1.84 Å) Se–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Pd2+ and one Se4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Pd2+ and one Se4+ atom.
