Materials Data on Ga9Ir2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ir2Ga9 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ir is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ir–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.69 Å. There are five inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Ir atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ir atoms. In the third Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ir atoms. In the fourth Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ir atoms. In the fifth Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ir atoms.
