Materials Data on Er5BiPd2 by Materials Project
Er5Pd2Bi crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Er sites. In the first Er site, Er is bonded to four equivalent Pd and two equivalent Bi atoms to form distorted corner-sharing ErBi2Pd4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–48°. All Er–Pd bond lengths are 3.00 Å. Both Er–Bi bond lengths are 3.46 Å. In the second Er site, Er is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd and two equivalent Bi atoms. There are one shorter (2.96 Å) and two longer (2.98 Å) Er–Pd bond lengths. Both Er–Bi bond lengths are 3.31 Å. Pd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Er atoms. Bi is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Er atoms.
