Materials Data on Ce(PPd)2 by Materials Project
CePd2P2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd and eight equivalent P atoms. All Ce–Pd bond lengths are 3.26 Å. All Ce–P bond lengths are 3.12 Å. Pd is bonded to four equivalent Ce, four equivalent Pd, and four equivalent P atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing PdCe4P4Pd4 cuboctahedra. All Pd–Pd bond lengths are 2.92 Å. All Pd–P bond lengths are 2.49 Å. P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce, four equivalent Pd, and one P atom. The P–P bond length is 2.24 Å.
