Materials Data on ZnPd2 by Materials Project
Pd2Zn is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Zn atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.92 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Zn atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.59–2.77 Å. Zn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Pd atoms.
