Materials Data on CrFe3 by Materials Project
CrFe3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cr is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to fourteen Fe atoms. There are eight shorter (2.46 Å) and six longer (2.84 Å) Cr–Fe bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cr and eight equivalent Fe atoms. All Fe–Fe bond lengths are 2.46 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Cr and four equivalent Fe atoms.
