Materials Data on Lu3(GeRh)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Lu3(RhGe)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh and five Ge atoms. There are two shorter (2.99 Å) and two longer (3.01 Å) Lu–Rh bond lengths. There are a spread of Lu–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.27 Å. In the second Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh and five Ge atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.07 Å. There are a spread of Lu–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.31 Å. Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Lu and three Ge atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.60 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven Lu and two equivalent Rh atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight Lu and four equivalent Rh atoms.
