Materials Data on B2Pd5 by Materials Project
Pd5B2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent B atoms. There are one shorter (2.14 Å) and one longer (2.19 Å) Pd–B bond lengths. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent B atoms. There are a spread of Pd–B bond distances ranging from 2.15–2.53 Å. In the third Pd site, Pd is bonded to four equivalent B atoms to form distorted edge-sharing PdB4 tetrahedra. All Pd–B bond lengths are 2.30 Å. B is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Pd atoms.
