Ta Ta V Cd
Ta2VCd is alpha Niobium phosphide-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two Ta2VCd clusters. Ta(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ta(1), one V(1), and one Cd(1) atom. The Ta(1)-Ta(1) bond length is 0.34 Å. The Ta(1)-V(1) bond length is 0.28 Å. The Ta(1)-Cd(1) bond length is 0.60 Å. V(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ta(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ta(1) atoms.
