Materials Data on PuIn3 by Materials Project

Abstract

PuIn3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu is bonded to twelve equivalent In atoms to form PuIn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent PuIn12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent InPu4In8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent PuIn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent InPu4In8 cuboctahedra. All Pu–In bond lengths are 3.30 Å. In is bonded to four equivalent Pu and eight equivalent In atoms to form distorted InPu4In8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent InPu4In8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent PuIn12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent InPu4In8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent PuIn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent InPu4In8 cuboctahedra. All In–In bond lengths are 3.30 Å.
