Materials Data on Fe3B by Materials Project
Fe3B is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent B atoms. There are two shorter (2.13 Å) and one longer (2.49 Å) Fe–B bond lengths. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent B atoms. There are a spread of Fe–B bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.28 Å. B is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Fe atoms.
