Materials Data on Re3Ir by Materials Project

Abstract

Re3Ir is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Re is bonded to eight equivalent Re and four equivalent Ir atoms to form ReRe8Ir4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent ReRe8Ir4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent IrRe12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent ReRe8Ir4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent IrRe12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent ReRe8Ir4 cuboctahedra. All Re–Re bond lengths are 2.76 Å. All Re–Ir bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Ir is bonded to twelve equivalent Re atoms to form IrRe12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent IrRe12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent ReRe8Ir4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent IrRe12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent ReRe8Ir4 cuboctahedra.
