Materials Data on Eu(GeIr)2 by Materials Project
Eu(IrGe)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ir and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Eu–Ir bond lengths are 3.38 Å. All Eu–Ge bond lengths are 3.26 Å. Ir is bonded to four equivalent Eu and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing IrEu4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Ir–Ge bond lengths are 2.48 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Eu, four equivalent Ir, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.66 Å.
