Materials Data on HoGePd2 by Materials Project

Abstract

HoPd2Ge is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd and three equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.24 Å. There are a spread of Ho–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.08 Å. Pd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho and three equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.53–2.66 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho and six equivalent Pd atoms.
