Materials Data on Sm2MgPd2 by Materials Project
Sm2Pd2Mg crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Pd atoms. All Mg–Pd bond lengths are 3.07 Å. Sm is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd atoms. There are two shorter (2.93 Å) and four longer (3.07 Å) Sm–Pd bond lengths. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg and six equivalent Sm atoms.
