Materials Data on Te3Pd5 by Materials Project
Pd5Te3 crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Pd and four Te atoms. The Pd–Pd bond length is 2.60 Å. There are one shorter (2.58 Å) and three longer (2.99 Å) Pd–Te bond lengths. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Pd and four equivalent Te atoms. All Pd–Te bond lengths are 2.59 Å. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Pd atoms. In the second Te site, Te is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Pd atoms.
