Materials Data on LuBi3 by Materials Project

Abstract

LuBi3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded to twelve equivalent Bi atoms to form LuBi12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent LuBi12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent BiLu4Bi8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent LuBi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent BiLu4Bi8 cuboctahedra. All Lu–Bi bond lengths are 3.49 Å. Bi is bonded to four equivalent Lu and eight equivalent Bi atoms to form distorted BiLu4Bi8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BiLu4Bi8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent LuBi12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent BiLu4Bi8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent LuBi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent BiLu4Bi8 cuboctahedra. All Bi–Bi bond lengths are 3.49 Å.
