Materials Data on AlBi3 by Materials Project

Abstract

AlBi3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Al is bonded to twelve equivalent Bi atoms to form distorted AlBi12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AlBi12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent BiAl4Bi8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent AlBi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent BiAl4Bi8 cuboctahedra. All Al–Bi bond lengths are 3.46 Å. Bi is bonded to four equivalent Al and eight equivalent Bi atoms to form distorted BiAl4Bi8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BiAl4Bi8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent AlBi12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent BiAl4Bi8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent AlBi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent BiAl4Bi8 cuboctahedra. All Bi–Bi bond lengths are 3.46 Å.
