Materials Data on Yb2SnPd2 by Materials Project
Yb2Pd2Sn 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 Sn atoms. There are two shorter (2.85 Å) and four longer (2.98 Å) Yb–Pd bond lengths. All Yb–Sn bond lengths are 3.40 Å. Pd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb, one Pd, and two equivalent Sn atoms. The Pd–Pd bond length is 2.90 Å. Both Pd–Sn bond lengths are 2.95 Å. Sn is bonded to eight equivalent Yb and four equivalent Pd atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing SnYb8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
