Materials Data on LiPm3 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiPm3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded to twelve equivalent Pm atoms to form LiPm12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent LiPm12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent PmLi4Pm8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent LiPm12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent PmLi4Pm8 cuboctahedra. All Li–Pm bond lengths are 3.53 Å. Pm is bonded to four equivalent Li and eight equivalent Pm atoms to form PmLi4Pm8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent PmLi4Pm8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent LiPm12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent PmLi4Pm8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent LiPm12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent PmLi4Pm8 cuboctahedra. All Pm–Pm bond lengths are 3.53 Å.
