Materials Data on Ho2(Ga3Ru)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ho2(RuGa3)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eleven Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.17 Å. There are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.63 Å. In the second Ru site, Ru is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ga atoms. There are four shorter (2.60 Å) and four longer (2.61 Å) Ru–Ga bond lengths. There are four inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho, two equivalent Ru, and six Ga atoms. All Ga–Ga bond lengths are 2.75 Å. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho, three Ru, and five Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ga–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.77–2.96 Å. In the third Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho, three Ru, and five Ga atoms. There are one shorter (2.72 Å) and two longer (2.84 Å) Ga–Ga bond lengths. In the fourth Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho, two equivalent Ru, and six Ga atoms. The Ga–Ga bond length is 2.73 Å.
