V V Ga Pd
V2PdGa crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V(2) and one Ga(1) atom. The V(1)-V(2) bond length is 2.38 Å. The V(1)-Ga(1) bond length is 0.95 Å. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to one V(1), six equivalent V(2), and one Pd(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing VV7Pd hexagonal bipyramids. All V(2)-V(2) bond lengths are 2.75 Å. The V(2)-Pd(1) bond length is 3.30 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one V(2) and one Ga(1) atom. The Pd(1)-Ga(1) bond length is 2.35 Å. Ga(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one V(1) and one Pd(1) atom.
