Materials Data on LaIr2 by Materials Project
LaIr2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ir atoms. All La–Ir bond lengths are 3.21 Å. Ir is bonded to six equivalent La and six equivalent Ir atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing IrLa6Ir6 cuboctahedra. All Ir–Ir bond lengths are 2.74 Å.
