Materials Data on UAlRh by Materials Project

URhAl crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Rh atoms. There are one shorter (2.90 Å) and four longer (2.92 Å) U–Rh bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent U and six equivalent Al atoms. All Rh–Al bond lengths are 2.63 Å. In the second Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent U and three equivalent Al atoms. All Rh–Al bond lengths are 2.67 Å. Al is bonded to four Rh atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing AlRh4 tetrahedra.
