Materials Data on YSiBRh3 by Materials Project

Abstract

YRh3BSi crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Rh, three equivalent B, and three equivalent Si atoms. All Y–Rh bond lengths are 3.24 Å. All Y–B bond lengths are 3.18 Å. All Y–Si bond lengths are 3.18 Å. Rh is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Y, two equivalent B, and two equivalent Si atoms. Both Rh–B bond lengths are 2.30 Å. Both Rh–Si bond lengths are 2.38 Å. B is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y and six equivalent Rh atoms. Si is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y and six equivalent Rh atoms.
