Materials Data on Ba(SbPd)2 by Materials Project
BaPd2Sb2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Sb3- atoms. All Ba–Sb bond lengths are 3.71 Å. Pd2+ is bonded to four equivalent Sb3- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing PdSb4 tetrahedra. All Pd–Sb bond lengths are 2.71 Å. Sb3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba2+, four equivalent Pd2+, and one Sb3- atom. The Sb–Sb bond length is 3.06 Å.
