Ni Ge Ge Pd
PdNiGe2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one PdNiGe2 cluster. Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom. The Pd(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 1.44 Å. Ni(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ge(1) and one Ge(2) atom. The Ni(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 1.96 Å. The Ni(1)-Ge(2) bond length is 1.70 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Pd(1) and one Ni(1) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Ni(1) atom.
