Materials Data on GdSiPd by Materials Project
GdPdSi crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd and six equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Gd–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.00–3.24 Å. There are a spread of Gd–Si bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.20 Å. Pd is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd, one Pd, and three equivalent Si atoms. The Pd–Pd bond length is 2.94 Å. There are two shorter (2.49 Å) and one longer (2.81 Å) Pd–Si bond lengths. Si is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd, three equivalent Pd, and one Si atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.43 Å.
