Materials Data on Yb2CdPd2 by Materials Project
Yb2Pd2Cd crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd and four equivalent Cd atoms. There are two shorter (2.90 Å) and four longer (3.00 Å) Yb–Pd bond lengths. All Yb–Cd bond lengths are 3.42 Å. Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb and two equivalent Cd atoms. Both Pd–Cd bond lengths are 2.92 Å. Cd is bonded to eight equivalent Yb and four equivalent Pd atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing CdYb8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
