Materials Data on Lu5Tl3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Lu5Tl3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Tl atoms. There are four shorter (3.17 Å) and two longer (3.18 Å) Lu–Tl bond lengths. In the second Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Tl atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Tl bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.51 Å. In the third Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Tl atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Tl bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.51 Å. There are two inequivalent Tl sites. In the first Tl site, Tl is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Lu atoms. In the second Tl site, Tl is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Lu atoms.
