Materials Data on La(BIr)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

La(IrB)4 is alpha Pu-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/n space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ir and twelve equivalent B atoms. There are four shorter (3.19 Å) and four longer (3.29 Å) La–Ir bond lengths. There are a spread of La–B bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.47 Å. Ir is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La and four equivalent B atoms. There are a spread of Ir–B bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.17 Å. B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La, four equivalent Ir, and one B atom. The B–B bond length is 1.88 Å.
