Materials Data on BaSiPd by Materials Project
BaPdSi crystallizes in the cubic P2_13 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Pd2+ and four equivalent Si4- atoms. The Ba–Pd bond length is 3.19 Å. There are one shorter (3.37 Å) and three longer (3.52 Å) Ba–Si bond lengths. Pd2+ is bonded to one Ba2+ and three equivalent Si4- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing PdBaSi3 trigonal pyramids. All Pd–Si bond lengths are 2.42 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba2+ and three equivalent Pd2+ atoms.
