Sc Ge Pd Pd
ScPd2Ge crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two ScPd2Ge clusters. Sc(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pd(1) and one Ge(1) atom. The Sc(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 2.39 Å. The Sc(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 0.54 Å. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sc(1) and one Pd(2) atom. The Pd(1)-Pd(2) bond length is 0.85 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pd(1) atom. Ge(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sc(1) atom.
