Materials Data on SmGaPd2 by Materials Project
SmPd2Ga is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd and three equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Sm–Pd bond distances ranging from 3.07–3.31 Å. There are a spread of Sm–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.13 Å. Pd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm and three equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.67 Å. Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sm and six equivalent Pd atoms.
