Materials Data on Er2In by Materials Project

Er2In crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Er sites. In the first Er site, Er is bonded to six equivalent Er and five equivalent In atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing ErEr6In5 trigonal bipyramids. All Er–Er bond lengths are 3.51 Å. There are three shorter (3.09 Å) and two longer (3.34 Å) Er–In bond lengths. In the second Er site, Er is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight Er and six equivalent In atoms. Both Er–Er bond lengths are 3.34 Å. All Er–In bond lengths are 3.51 Å. In is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eleven Er atoms.
