Materials Data on Cd3Ir by Materials Project

Abstract

IrCd3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ir is bonded to twelve equivalent Cd atoms to form IrCd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent IrCd12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent CdCd8Ir4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent IrCd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent CdCd8Ir4 cuboctahedra. All Ir–Cd bond lengths are 2.98 Å. Cd is bonded to four equivalent Ir and eight equivalent Cd atoms to form distorted CdCd8Ir4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CdCd8Ir4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent IrCd12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent CdCd8Ir4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent IrCd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent CdCd8Ir4 cuboctahedra. All Cd–Cd bond lengths are 2.98 Å.
