Materials Data on Pd3S by Materials Project
Pd3S crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent S atoms. There are one shorter (2.36 Å) and one longer (2.43 Å) Pd–S bond lengths. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S atoms. Both Pd–S bond lengths are 2.32 Å. S is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Pd atoms.
