Materials Data on H3Pd4 by Materials Project
Pd4H3 is MAX Phase-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of three Pd4H3 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent H atoms. All Pd–H bond lengths are 1.92 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded to six H atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing PdH6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are three shorter (2.06 Å) and three longer (2.22 Å) Pd–H bond lengths. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H is bonded to six Pd atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing HPd6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°. In the second H site, H is bonded to six equivalent Pd atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing HPd6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°.
