Materials Data on Rb3Lu by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb3Lu is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb is bonded to eight equivalent Rb and four equivalent Lu atoms to form distorted RbRb8Lu4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent RbRb8Lu4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent LuRb12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent RbRb8Lu4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent LuRb12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent RbRb8Lu4 cuboctahedra. All Rb–Rb bond lengths are 4.54 Å. All Rb–Lu bond lengths are 4.54 Å. Lu is bonded to twelve equivalent Rb atoms to form LuRb12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent LuRb12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent RbRb8Lu4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent LuRb12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent RbRb8Lu4 cuboctahedra.
