Materials Data on Pr2CdNi2 by Materials Project
Pr2Ni2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pr is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni and four equivalent Cd atoms. There are two shorter (2.93 Å) and four longer (2.98 Å) Pr–Ni bond lengths. All Pr–Cd bond lengths are 3.39 Å. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pr, one Ni, and two equivalent Cd atoms. The Ni–Ni bond length is 2.48 Å. Both Ni–Cd bond lengths are 3.03 Å. Cd is bonded to eight equivalent Pr and four equivalent Ni atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing CdPr8Ni4 cuboctahedra.
