V Pd Pd Au
VPd2Au is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two VPd2Au clusters. V(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Both V(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 0.09 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one V(1) and one Au(1) atom. The Pd(1)-Au(1) bond length is 0.20 Å. Au(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
