Materials Data on HoPPd by Materials Project

Abstract

HoPdP 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 P atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.25 Å. There are a spread of Ho–P bond distances ranging from 2.83–2.91 Å. Pd is bonded to six equivalent Ho, two equivalent Pd, and four equivalent P atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing PdHo6P4Pd2 cuboctahedra. Both Pd–Pd bond lengths are 3.02 Å. There are three shorter (2.55 Å) and one longer (2.77 Å) Pd–P bond lengths. P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ho and four equivalent Pd atoms.
