The material structure described by Yb5Pd2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. There are three inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Yb site, Yb(3) is bonded to four equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing YbPd4 trigonal pyramids. In the third Yb site, Yb(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(3), three equivalent Yb(1), and three equivalent Yb(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
