Materials Data on In3Bi by Materials Project

Abstract

BiIn3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. In is bonded to eight equivalent In and four equivalent Bi atoms to form distorted InIn8Bi4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent InIn8Bi4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent BiIn12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent InIn8Bi4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent BiIn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent InIn8Bi4 cuboctahedra. All In–In bond lengths are 3.48 Å. All In–Bi bond lengths are 3.48 Å. Bi is bonded to twelve equivalent In atoms to form BiIn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BiIn12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent InIn8Bi4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent BiIn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent InIn8Bi4 cuboctahedra.
