Materials Data on Lu3Ir by Materials Project
Lu3Ir is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ir atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Ir bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.15 Å. In the second Lu site, Lu is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ir atoms. There are one shorter (2.72 Å) and one longer (2.80 Å) Lu–Ir bond lengths. Ir is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight Lu atoms.
