Materials Data on MoPd2Rh by Materials Project
MoRhPd2 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mo is bonded to six equivalent Mo, three equivalent Rh, and three equivalent Pd atoms to form MoMo6Pd3Rh3 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent MoMo6Pd3Rh3 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent PdPd9Rh3 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent MoMo6Pd3Rh3 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent RhMo3Pd3Rh6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve PdPd9Rh3 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent MoMo6Pd3Rh3 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent RhMo3Pd3Rh6 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent PdMo3Pd9 cuboctahedra. All Mo–Mo bond lengths are 2.78 Å. All Mo–Rh bond lengths are 2.67 Å. All Mo–Pd bond lengths are 2.78 Å. Rh is bonded to three equivalent Mo, six equivalent Rh, and three equivalent Pd atoms to form RhMo3Pd3Rh6 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent RhMo3Pd3Rh6 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent PdMo3Pd9 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent MoMo6Pd3Rh3 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent RhMo3Pd3Rh6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve PdPd9Rh3 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent MoMo6Pd3Rh3 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent RhMo3Pd3Rh6 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent PdPd9Rh3 cuboctahedra. All Rh–Rh bond lengths are 2.78 Å. All Rh–Pd bond lengths are 2.84 Å. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded to three equivalent Rh and nine Pd atoms to form PdPd9Rh3 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent MoMo6Pd3Rh3 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent PdPd9Rh3 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent MoMo6Pd3Rh3 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent RhMo3Pd3Rh6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve PdPd9Rh3 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent RhMo3Pd3Rh6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve PdPd9Rh3 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.78 Å) and three longer (2.84 Å) Pd–Pd bond lengths. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded to three equivalent Mo and nine Pd atoms to form PdMo3Pd9 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent RhMo3Pd3Rh6 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent PdMo3Pd9 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent MoMo6Pd3Rh3 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent RhMo3Pd3Rh6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve PdPd9Rh3 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent MoMo6Pd3Rh3 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve PdPd9Rh3 cuboctahedra. All Pd–Pd bond lengths are 2.78 Å.
