Materials Data on CeIr5 by Materials Project

Abstract

CeIr5 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to eighteen Ir atoms. There are six shorter (3.06 Å) and twelve longer (3.43 Å) Ce–Ir bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ir sites. In the first Ir site, Ir is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce and nine Ir atoms. There are six shorter (2.66 Å) and three longer (3.06 Å) Ir–Ir bond lengths. In the second Ir site, Ir is bonded to four equivalent Ce and eight Ir atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing IrCe4Ir8 cuboctahedra. All Ir–Ir bond lengths are 2.65 Å.
