Materials Data on Ce(AsPd)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ce(PdAs)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd and eight equivalent As atoms. All Ce–Pd bond lengths are 3.43 Å. All Ce–As bond lengths are 3.24 Å. Pd is bonded to four equivalent Ce, four equivalent Pd, and four equivalent As atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing PdCe4As4Pd4 cuboctahedra. All Pd–Pd bond lengths are 2.99 Å. All Pd–As bond lengths are 2.56 Å. As is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce, four equivalent Pd, and one As atom. The As–As bond length is 2.53 Å.
