Materials Data on ThBi3 by Materials Project

Abstract

ThBi3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded to twelve equivalent Bi atoms to form ThBi12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent ThBi12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent BiTh4Bi8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent ThBi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent BiTh4Bi8 cuboctahedra. All Th–Bi bond lengths are 3.51 Å. Bi is bonded to four equivalent Th and eight equivalent Bi atoms to form distorted BiTh4Bi8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BiTh4Bi8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent ThBi12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent BiTh4Bi8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent ThBi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent BiTh4Bi8 cuboctahedra. All Bi–Bi bond lengths are 3.51 Å.
