Materials Data on CeAl2 by Materials Project
CeAl2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce and twelve equivalent Al atoms. All Ce–Ce bond lengths are 3.44 Å. All Ce–Al bond lengths are 3.30 Å. Al is bonded to six equivalent Ce and six equivalent Al atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing AlCe6Al6 cuboctahedra. All Al–Al bond lengths are 2.81 Å.
