Materials Data on ErGa2Pd by Materials Project
ErPdGa2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pd and ten equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Er–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.50 Å. There are a spread of Er–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.37 Å. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Er and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are two shorter (2.65 Å) and four longer (2.67 Å) Pd–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Er, three equivalent Pd, and two equivalent Ga atoms. There are one shorter (2.60 Å) and one longer (2.69 Å) Ga–Ga bond lengths.
