Materials Data on LuPPd by Materials Project

Abstract

LuPdP crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd and five equivalent P atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.23 Å. There are a spread of Lu–P bond distances ranging from 2.79–2.88 Å. Pd is bonded to six equivalent Lu, two equivalent Pd, and four equivalent P atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing PdLu6P4Pd2 cuboctahedra. Both Pd–Pd bond lengths are 2.96 Å. There are a spread of Pd–P bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.73 Å. P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Lu and four equivalent Pd atoms.
