Materials Data on ErGePd2 by Materials Project
ErPd2Ge is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd and three equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Er–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.16 Å. There are a spread of Er–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.04 Å. Pd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Er and three equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.53–2.66 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Er and six equivalent Pd atoms.
