LaPdO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. La(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing PdO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 30-34°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form distorted OLa3Pd2 square pyramids that share corners with nine equivalent O(1)La3Pd2 square pyramids, corners with four equivalent O(2)La2Pd2 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent O(1)La3Pd2 square pyramids, and edges with three equivalent O(2)La2Pd2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form distorted OLa2Pd2 tetrahedra that share corners with eight equivalent O(1)La3Pd2 square pyramids, corners with four equivalent O(2)La2Pd2 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent O(1)La3Pd2 square pyramids.
LaPdO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. La(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.40 Å) and one longer (2.47 Å) La(1)-O(2) bond length. There are a spread of La(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.45-2.75 Å. Pd(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing PdO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 30-34°. Both Pd(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.05 Å. There are two shorter (2.11 Å) and two longer (2.12 Å) Pd(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form distorted OLa3Pd2 square pyramids that share corners with nine equivalent O(1)La3Pd2 square pyramids, corners with four equivalent O(2)La2Pd2 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent O(1)La3Pd2 square pyramids, and edges with three equivalent O(2)La2Pd2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form distorted OLa2Pd2 tetrahedra that share corners with eight equivalent O(1)La3Pd2 square pyramids, corners with four equivalent O(2)La2Pd2 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent O(1)La3Pd2 square pyramids.
