Materials Data on NbGeIr by Materials Project

Abstract

NbIrGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ir and five equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Nb–Ir bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.07 Å. There are a spread of Nb–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.72–2.83 Å. Ir is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nb, two equivalent Ir, and four equivalent Ge atoms. Both Ir–Ir bond lengths are 2.87 Å. There are a spread of Ir–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.55 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Nb and four equivalent Ir atoms.
