Be Be Ni Pd
Be2PdNi crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. There are two inequivalent Be sites. In the first Be site, Be(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Pd(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms. The Be(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 1.89 Å. There is one shorter (1.97 Å) and three longer (2.61 Å) Be(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths. In the second Be site, Be(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pd(1) and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms. The Be(2)-Pd(1) bond length is 1.97 Å. All Be(2)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.37 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Be(1), one Be(2), and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms. All Pd(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.37 Å. Ni(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Be(2), four equivalent Be(1), and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
