Materials Data on CePIr by Materials Project

Abstract

CeIrP is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1md space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded to six equivalent Ir and six equivalent P atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing CeP6Ir6 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (3.10 Å) and two longer (3.13 Å) Ce–Ir bond lengths. There are four shorter (3.08 Å) and two longer (3.17 Å) Ce–P bond lengths. Ir is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce and three equivalent P atoms. There are two shorter (2.36 Å) and one longer (2.38 Å) Ir–P bond lengths. P is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce and three equivalent Ir atoms.
