YbPdAl2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd(1) and ten equivalent Al(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and six equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to five equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
YbPdAl2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd(1) and ten equivalent Al(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.74 Å) and two longer (3.05 Å) Yb(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Yb(1)-Al(1) bond distances ranging from 3.13-3.32 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and six equivalent Al(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.57 Å) and four longer (2.62 Å) Pd(1)-Al(1) bond lengths. Al(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to five equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
