Materials Data on La(ReB)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

La(ReB)4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/nmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Re and twelve equivalent B atoms. There are four shorter (3.11 Å) and eight longer (3.23 Å) La–Re bond lengths. There are eight shorter (3.09 Å) and four longer (3.27 Å) La–B bond lengths. Re is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La and five equivalent B atoms. There are a spread of Re–B bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.35 Å. B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La, five equivalent Re, and one B atom. The B–B bond length is 1.85 Å.
