Materials Data on LuGa2Pd by Materials Project
LuPdGa2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pd and ten equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.48 Å. There are a spread of Lu–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.34 Å. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Lu and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are two shorter (2.63 Å) and four longer (2.66 Å) Pd–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Lu, three equivalent Pd, and two equivalent Ga atoms. There are one shorter (2.60 Å) and one longer (2.66 Å) Ga–Ga bond lengths.
