Materials Data on LaYCd2 by Materials Project
LaYCd2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two LaYCd2 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. La is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Cd atoms. Both La–Cd bond lengths are 3.18 Å. Y is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Cd atoms. Both Y–Cd bond lengths are 3.16 Å. Cd is bonded in a linear geometry to one La and one Y atom.
