Materials Data on Eu5Pd2 by Materials Project
Eu5Pd2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Eu sites. In the first Eu site, Eu is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd atoms. There are a spread of Eu–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.66 Å. In the second Eu site, Eu is bonded to four equivalent Pd atoms to form distorted edge-sharing EuPd4 trigonal pyramids. There are two shorter (3.10 Å) and two longer (3.14 Å) Eu–Pd bond lengths. In the third Eu site, Eu is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd atoms. There are a spread of Eu–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.07–3.31 Å. Pd is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to eight Eu atoms.
