Materials Data on HoAsPd by Materials Project

Abstract

HoPdAs crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd and five equivalent As atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.40 Å. There are a spread of Ho–As bond distances ranging from 2.91–2.99 Å. Pd is bonded to six equivalent Ho, two equivalent Pd, and four equivalent As atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing PdHo6As4Pd2 cuboctahedra. Both Pd–Pd bond lengths are 3.05 Å. There are a spread of Pd–As bond distances ranging from 2.63–2.82 Å. As is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ho and four equivalent Pd atoms.
