Materials Data on Pr(Sn2Rh)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Pr(RhSn2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pr is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to seven Sn atoms. There are a spread of Pr–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.20–3.39 Å. There are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Sn atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.72–2.90 Å. In the second Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Sn atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.85 Å. There are four inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pr and four Rh atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pr and three equivalent Rh atoms. In the third Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pr and three equivalent Rh atoms. In the fourth Sn site, Sn is bonded to four Rh atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SnRh4 tetrahedra.
