Er2Pd2Pb crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Er(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Pb(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er(1), one Pd(1), and two equivalent Pb(1) atoms. Pb(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Er(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing PbEr8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
Er2Pd2Pb crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Er(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent Pb(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.87 Å) and four longer (2.94 Å) Er(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. All Er(1)-Pb(1) bond lengths are 3.40 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er(1), one Pd(1), and two equivalent Pb(1) atoms. The Pd(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 2.77 Å. Both Pd(1)-Pb(1) bond lengths are 3.07 Å. Pb(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Er(1) and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing PbEr8Pd4 cuboctahedra.
