Materials Data on YGaPd by Materials Project
YPdGa crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pd and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Y–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.12 Å. There are a spread of Y–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.09–3.27 Å. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y and four equivalent Ga atoms. There are three shorter (2.62 Å) and one longer (2.79 Å) Pd–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y and four equivalent Pd atoms.
