Materials Data on Pr3Th by Materials Project
ThPr3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded to twelve Pr atoms to form ThPr12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent ThPr12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent PrPr8Th4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent ThPr12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent PrPr8Th4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent ThPr12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen PrPr8Th4 cuboctahedra. All Th–Pr bond lengths are 3.68 Å. There are two inequivalent Pr sites. In the first Pr site, Pr is bonded to four equivalent Th and eight Pr atoms to form PrPr8Th4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent PrPr8Th4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent ThPr12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen PrPr8Th4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent ThPr12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen PrPr8Th4 cuboctahedra. All Pr–Pr bond lengths are 3.68 Å. In the second Pr site, Pr is bonded to four equivalent Th and eight equivalent Pr atoms to form PrPr8Th4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent PrPr8Th4 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent ThPr12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four PrPr8Th4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent ThPr12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve PrPr8Th4 cuboctahedra.
