Materials Data on Si3Ir by Materials Project
IrSi3 is Sodium arsenide structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ir4+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to eleven Si+1.33- atoms. There are a spread of Ir–Si bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.80 Å. There are two inequivalent Si+1.33- sites. In the first Si+1.33- site, Si+1.33- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ir4+ atoms. In the second Si+1.33- site, Si+1.33- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Ir4+ atoms.
