Ce B B Pd Pd C
CePd2B2C crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two CePd2B2C clusters. Ce(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one B(1) and one B(2) atom. The Ce(1)-B(1) bond length is 0.83 Å. The Ce(1)-B(2) bond length is 0.83 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pd(1) and one C(1) atom. The Pd(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 0.44 Å. The Pd(1)-C(1) bond length is 1.63 Å. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ce(1) atom. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ce(1) and one C(1) atom. The B(2)-C(1) bond length is 1.20 Å. C(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) and one B(2) atom.
