Materials Data on PrSiPd2 by Materials Project
PrPd2Si crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pr is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to ten equivalent Pd and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pr–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.63 Å. There are one shorter (3.10 Å) and two longer (3.12 Å) Pr–Si bond lengths. Pd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pr, four equivalent Pd, and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.18 Å. There are a spread of Pd–Si bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.69 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pr and six equivalent Pd atoms.
