Materials Data on Sn4Pd by Materials Project
PdSn4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Aea2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two PdSn4 sheets oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Pd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Sn atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.85 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd atoms.
