Materials Data on LaCd2Pd by Materials Project
LaPdCd2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd and ten equivalent Cd atoms. There are one shorter (2.91 Å) and two longer (3.08 Å) La–Pd bond lengths. There are a spread of La–Cd bond distances ranging from 3.44–3.51 Å. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La and six equivalent Cd atoms. There are four shorter (2.89 Å) and two longer (2.91 Å) Pd–Cd bond lengths. Cd is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent La and three equivalent Pd atoms.
