Materials Data on LaZnRh by Materials Project

Abstract

LaRhZn crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Rh atoms. There are a spread of La–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.20 Å. In the second La site, La is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Rh and six Zn atoms. There are a spread of La–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.04 Å. There are a spread of La–Zn bond distances ranging from 3.29–3.36 Å. There are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six La and three Zn atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.79–2.90 Å. In the second Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four La and five Zn atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Zn bond distances ranging from 2.65–2.76 Å. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La and four Rh atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La and four Rh atoms.
