Materials Data on Y6Te2Rh by Materials Project
Y6RhTe2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rh and one Te atom. Both Y–Rh bond lengths are 2.92 Å. The Y–Te bond length is 3.31 Å. In the second Y site, Y is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rh and three Te atoms. Both Y–Rh bond lengths are 2.94 Å. There are one shorter (3.10 Å) and two longer (3.24 Å) Y–Te bond lengths. In the third Y site, Y is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Te atoms. There are a spread of Y–Te bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.31 Å. In the fourth Y site, Y is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rh and two equivalent Te atoms. There are two shorter (2.91 Å) and one longer (3.27 Å) Y–Rh bond lengths. Both Y–Te bond lengths are 3.28 Å. In the fifth Y site, Y is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Te atoms. There are two shorter (3.12 Å) and two longer (3.14 Å) Y–Te bond lengths. In the sixth Y site, Y is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Rh and one Te atom. The Y–Rh bond length is 3.25 Å. The Y–Te bond length is 3.13 Å. Rh is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight Y atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Y atoms. In the second Te site, Te is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Y atoms.
