Li2Pd crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Li(1) and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing PdLi12Pd2 cuboctahedra.
Li2Pd crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Li(1) and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.43 Å) and two longer (2.68 Å) Li(1)-Li(1) bond lengths. All Li(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 2.77 Å. Pd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing PdLi12Pd2 cuboctahedra. Both Pd(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 2.68 Å.
