Materials Data on Tm5BiPd2 by Materials Project
Tm5Pd2Bi crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Tm sites. In the first Tm site, Tm is bonded to four equivalent Pd and two equivalent Bi atoms to form distorted corner-sharing TmBi2Pd4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–48°. All Tm–Pd bond lengths are 2.97 Å. Both Tm–Bi bond lengths are 3.46 Å. In the second Tm site, Tm is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd and two equivalent Bi atoms. There are one shorter (2.95 Å) and two longer (2.97 Å) Tm–Pd bond lengths. Both Tm–Bi bond lengths are 3.28 Å. Pd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Tm atoms. Bi is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Tm atoms.
