Materials Data on Ce3Os by Materials Project
Ce3Os is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Ce3Os sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Os atoms. There are one shorter (2.83 Å) and one longer (2.88 Å) Ce–Os bond lengths. In the second Ce site, Ce is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Os atoms. There are one shorter (2.74 Å) and one longer (2.89 Å) Ce–Os bond lengths. Os is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Ce atoms.
