Materials Data on Pu2Sn3 by Materials Project
Pu2Sn3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pu and eight Sn atoms. There are one shorter (3.21 Å) and two longer (3.49 Å) Pu–Pu bond lengths. There are a spread of Pu–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.21–3.69 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pu and five Sn atoms. There are four shorter (3.16 Å) and one longer (3.21 Å) Sn–Sn bond lengths. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pu and four equivalent Sn atoms.
