SmPdZn crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Pd(1), four equivalent Pd(2), and six equivalent Zn(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sm(1) and six equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm(1), two equivalent Pd(1), and two equivalent Pd(2) atoms.
SmPdZn crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Pd(1), four equivalent Pd(2), and six equivalent Zn(1) atoms. The Sm(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 2.98 Å. All Sm(1)-Pd(2) bond lengths are 2.97 Å. There are two shorter (3.22 Å) and four longer (3.26 Å) Sm(1)-Zn(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sm(1) and six equivalent Zn(1) atoms. All Pd(1)-Zn(1) bond lengths are 2.65 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms. All Pd(2)-Zn(1) bond lengths are 2.83 Å. Zn(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm(1), two equivalent Pd(1), and two equivalent Pd(2) atoms.
