Materials Data on CeSb3Pd by Materials Project
CePdSb3 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Sb+1.67- atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Sb bond distances ranging from 3.44–3.62 Å. Pd2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Sb+1.67- atoms. There are one shorter (2.63 Å) and four longer (2.86 Å) Pd–Sb bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Sb+1.67- sites. In the first Sb+1.67- site, Sb+1.67- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce3+ and four equivalent Pd2+ atoms. In the second Sb+1.67- site, Sb+1.67- is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Ce3+ and four equivalent Sb+1.67- atoms. All Sb–Sb bond lengths are 2.94 Å. In the third Sb+1.67- site, Sb+1.67- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Ce3+, one Pd2+, and four equivalent Sb+1.67- atoms.
