Materials Data on YbGeIr by Materials Project
YbIrGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ir and five equivalent Ge atoms. There are three shorter (3.02 Å) and one longer (3.07 Å) Yb–Ir bond lengths. There are a spread of Yb–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.00–3.09 Å. Ir is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb and four equivalent Ge atoms. There are one shorter (2.54 Å) and three longer (2.55 Å) Ir–Ge bond lengths. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Yb and four equivalent Ir atoms.
