Materials Data on TbSiPd2 by Materials Project

Abstract

TbPd2Si is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to ten equivalent Pd and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Tb–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.53 Å. There are a spread of Tb–Si bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.03 Å. Pd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Tb, four equivalent Pd, and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.07 Å. There are a spread of Pd–Si bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.63 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Tb and six equivalent Pd atoms.
