Materials Data on Ce3Ir by Materials Project
Ce3Ir is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to three equivalent Ir atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Ir bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.38 Å. In the second Ce site, Ce is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to three equivalent Ir atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Ir bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.61 Å. Ir is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to nine Ce atoms.
