Materials Data on USiRh by Materials Project
URhSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent U, six equivalent Rh, and five equivalent Si atoms. Both U–U bond lengths are 2.69 Å. There are a spread of U–Rh bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.39 Å. There are a spread of U–Si bond distances ranging from 2.88–2.97 Å. Rh is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent U and four equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Si bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.51 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent U and four equivalent Rh atoms.
