Materials Data on Er2Pd2Pb by Materials Project
Er2Pd2Pb crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd and four equivalent Pb atoms. There are two shorter (2.90 Å) and four longer (2.96 Å) Er–Pd bond lengths. All Er–Pb bond lengths are 3.44 Å. Pd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er and two equivalent Pb atoms. Both Pd–Pb bond lengths are 3.13 Å. Pb is bonded to eight equivalent Er and four equivalent Pd atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing PbEr8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
