Materials Data on Hf3Rh5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Hf3Rh5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Hf sites. In the first Hf site, Hf is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Rh atoms. There are a spread of Hf–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.69–2.99 Å. In the second Hf site, Hf is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Rh atoms. There are a spread of Hf–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.81 Å. There are three inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Hf atoms. In the second Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Hf atoms. In the third Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Hf atoms.
