ScPdGe crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1), one Ge(2), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sc(1), two equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sc(1) and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
ScPdGe crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pd(1), one Ge(2), and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.96 Å) and four longer (3.17 Å) Sc(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. The Sc(1)-Ge(2) bond length is 2.85 Å. All Sc(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.81 Å. Pd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sc(1), two equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. Both Pd(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 2.90 Å. Both Pd(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.58 Å. Both Pd(1)-Ge(2) bond lengths are 2.58 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sc(1) and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to three equivalent Sc(1) and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
