PdCoO2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Co(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CoO6 octahedra. Pd(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Co(1) and one Pd(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OCo3Pd tetrahedra.
PdCoO2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Co(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CoO6 octahedra. All Co(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.92 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both Pd(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.01 Å. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Co(1) and one Pd(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OCo3Pd tetrahedra.
