Materials Data on Ce3(GeRh)2 by Materials Project
Ce3Rh2Ge2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh and five Ge atoms. There are two shorter (3.08 Å) and two longer (3.10 Å) Ce–Rh bond lengths. There are a spread of Ce–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.34 Å. In the second Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rh and five Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.22 Å. There are a spread of Ce–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.40 Å. Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Ce and three Ge atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.68 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight Ce and four equivalent Rh atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven Ce and two equivalent Rh atoms.
