Ni Ni Ge Pd
PdNi2Ge is Cyanogen Chloride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one PdNi2Ge cluster. Pd(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ni(1) and one Ge(1) atom. The Pd(1)-Ni(1) bond length is 1.51 Å. The Pd(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 0.88 Å. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pd(1) atom. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom. The Ni(2)-Ge(1) bond length is 0.62 Å. Ge(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Pd(1) and one Ni(2) atom.
