Materials Data on Ga7Pd3 by Materials Project
Pd3Ga7 crystallizes in the cubic Im-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ga atoms. There are four shorter (2.60 Å) and four longer (2.62 Å) Pd–Ga bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd and four equivalent Ga atoms. There are one shorter (2.65 Å) and three longer (2.91 Å) Ga–Ga bond lengths.
