Materials Data on Eu3Re by Materials Project
Eu3Re is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Eu sites. In the first Eu site, Eu is bonded to four equivalent Eu and four equivalent Re atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing EuEu4Re4 tetrahedra. All Eu–Eu bond lengths are 3.25 Å. All Eu–Re bond lengths are 3.25 Å. In the second Eu site, Eu is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Eu and six equivalent Re atoms. All Eu–Re bond lengths are 3.75 Å. Re is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to fourteen Eu atoms.
