Materials Data on CaCdPd by Materials Project
CaPdCd crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pd and six equivalent Cd atoms. There are a spread of Ca–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.15 Å. There are a spread of Ca–Cd bond distances ranging from 3.36–3.48 Å. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ca and four equivalent Cd atoms. There are one shorter (2.79 Å) and three longer (2.85 Å) Pd–Cd bond lengths. Cd is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ca and four equivalent Pd atoms.
