Materials Data on SmAlPd by Materials Project
SmPdAl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pd and six equivalent Al atoms. There are a spread of Sm–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.20 Å. There are a spread of Sm–Al bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.36 Å. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sm and four equivalent Al atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Al bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.73 Å. Al is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm and four equivalent Pd atoms.
