Materials Data on Lu5BiPd2 by Materials Project
Lu5Pd2Bi crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu is bonded to four equivalent Pd and two equivalent Bi atoms to form distorted corner-sharing LuBi2Pd4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–48°. All Lu–Pd bond lengths are 2.95 Å. Both Lu–Bi bond lengths are 3.43 Å. In the second Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd and two equivalent Bi atoms. There are one shorter (2.93 Å) and two longer (2.95 Å) Lu–Pd bond lengths. Both Lu–Bi bond lengths are 3.25 Å. Pd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Lu atoms. Bi is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Lu atoms.
