Materials Data on Dy3Ge3Ru2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Dy3Ru2Ge3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Dy sites. In the first Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ru and seven Ge atoms. There are a spread of Dy–Ru bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.21 Å. There are a spread of Dy–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.47 Å. In the second Dy site, Dy is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ru and five Ge atoms. All Dy–Ru bond lengths are 3.28 Å. There are a spread of Dy–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.39 Å. Ru is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Dy and four Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ru–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.71 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Dy, three equivalent Ru, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.79 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven Dy and two equivalent Ru atoms.
