Materials Data on Cu2Sn2Pd by Materials Project
PdCu2Sn2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pd is bonded to six equivalent Cu and six equivalent Sn atoms to form face-sharing PdCu6Sn6 cuboctahedra. All Pd–Cu bond lengths are 2.78 Å. There are two shorter (3.02 Å) and four longer (3.03 Å) Pd–Sn bond lengths. Cu is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to three equivalent Pd and five equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Cu–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.77 Å. Sn is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd and five equivalent Cu atoms.
