Materials Data on Cs2P2Pd by Materials Project
Cs2PdP2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cs1+ sites. In the first Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P3- atoms. There are four shorter (3.73 Å) and two longer (3.74 Å) Cs–P bond lengths. In the second Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P3- atoms. There are two shorter (3.66 Å) and four longer (3.98 Å) Cs–P bond lengths. Pd4+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent P3- atoms. All Pd–P bond lengths are 2.44 Å. P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Cs1+, two equivalent Pd4+, and one P3- atom. The P–P bond length is 2.18 Å.
