Mg Mg Ge Pd
Mg2PdGe crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one Mg2PdGe cluster. There are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Mg(2) and one Pd(1) atom. The Mg(1)-Mg(2) bond length is 0.71 Å. The Mg(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 1.25 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Mg(1) and one Ge(1) atom. The Mg(2)-Ge(1) bond length is 1.03 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mg(1) atom. Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mg(2) atom.
