Materials Data on ErCd3 by Materials Project
ErCd3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve Cd atoms. There are a spread of Er–Cd bond distances ranging from 3.19–3.63 Å. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Er and seven Cd atoms. There are a spread of Cd–Cd bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.34 Å. In the second Cd site, Cd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Er and eight equivalent Cd atoms.
