Materials Data on Pr3Au by Materials Project
Pr3Au is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pr sites. In the first Pr site, Pr is bonded to four equivalent Au atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing PrAu4 cuboctahedra. All Pr–Au bond lengths are 3.54 Å. In the second Pr site, Pr is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Au atoms. All Pr–Au bond lengths are 3.35 Å. Au is bonded to twelve Pr atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing AuPr12 cuboctahedra.
