Materials Data on Nb6OsAu by Materials Project
Nb6OsAu crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb, two equivalent Os, and two equivalent Au atoms. There are one shorter (2.55 Å) and one longer (2.66 Å) Nb–Nb bond lengths. Both Nb–Os bond lengths are 2.90 Å. Both Nb–Au bond lengths are 2.92 Å. Os is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb atoms to form OsNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent OsNb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent AuNb12 cuboctahedra. Au is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb atoms to form AuNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent AuNb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent OsNb12 cuboctahedra.
