Materials Data on Gd3Pd2 by Materials Project
Gd3Pd2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Gd sites. In the first Gd site, Gd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd atoms. There are two shorter (3.02 Å) and four longer (3.08 Å) Gd–Pd bond lengths. In the second Gd site, Gd is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Pd atoms. All Gd–Pd bond lengths are 3.10 Å. Pd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Gd atoms.
