Materials Data on YbSiPd by Materials Project
YbPdSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Yb–Si bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.30 Å. Pd2+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing PdSi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Pd–Si bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.57 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb2+ and four equivalent Pd2+ atoms.
