Materials Data on ErSiPd2 by Materials Project
ErPd2Si 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 Si atoms. There are a spread of Er–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.17 Å. There are two shorter (2.96 Å) and one longer (2.99 Å) Er–Si bond lengths. Pd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Er and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Si bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.60 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Er and six equivalent Pd atoms.
