Materials Data on Yb3In3Ge2Au by Materials Project

Abstract

Yb3AuIn3Ge2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Au, six equivalent In, and four equivalent Ge atoms. The Yb–Au bond length is 3.09 Å. There are two shorter (3.31 Å) and four longer (3.50 Å) Yb–In bond lengths. All Yb–Ge bond lengths are 3.15 Å. Au is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to three equivalent Yb and six equivalent In atoms. All Au–In bond lengths are 2.90 Å. In is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb, two equivalent Au, two equivalent In, and two equivalent Ge atoms. Both In–In bond lengths are 3.22 Å. Both In–Ge bond lengths are 2.82 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb and three equivalent In atoms.
