Materials Data on Ba(P2Pd)2 by Materials Project
Ba(PdP2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent P+1.50- atoms. All Ba–P bond lengths are 3.38 Å. Pd2+ is bonded to four equivalent P+1.50- atoms to form edge-sharing PdP4 tetrahedra. All Pd–P bond lengths are 2.41 Å. P+1.50- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent Pd2+, and two equivalent P+1.50- atoms. Both P–P bond lengths are 2.20 Å.
