Materials Data on Ca2AlPd2 by Materials Project
Ca2Pd2Al crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd atoms. There are a spread of Ca–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.09–3.14 Å. Pd is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ca and two equivalent Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.53 Å) and one longer (2.56 Å) Pd–Al bond lengths. Al is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd atoms.
