Materials Data on MoPd2 by Materials Project
MoPd2 is alpha La-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mo is bonded to two equivalent Mo and ten equivalent Pd atoms to form MoMo2Pd10 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent MoMo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, corners with ten equivalent PdMo5Pd7 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent MoMo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent PdMo5Pd7 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent MoMo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent PdMo5Pd7 cuboctahedra. Both Mo–Mo bond lengths are 2.78 Å. All Mo–Pd bond lengths are 2.78 Å. Pd is bonded to five equivalent Mo and seven equivalent Pd atoms to form PdMo5Pd7 cuboctahedra that share corners with five equivalent MoMo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, corners with seven equivalent PdMo5Pd7 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent MoMo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent PdMo5Pd7 cuboctahedra, faces with seven equivalent MoMo2Pd10 cuboctahedra, and faces with eleven equivalent PdMo5Pd7 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Pd–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.80 Å.
