Mg V V Pd
MgV2Pd crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two MgV2Pd clusters. Mg(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V(1) and one Pd(1) atom. The Mg(1)-V(1) bond length is 1.20 Å. The Mg(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 0.07 Å. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mg(1) atom. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pd(1) atom. The V(2)-Pd(1) bond length is 1.27 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mg(1) and one V(2) atom.
