Materials Data on EuPAu by Materials Project
EuAuP is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu2+ is bonded to six equivalent Au1+ and six equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing EuP6Au6 cuboctahedra. All Eu–Au bond lengths are 3.25 Å. All Eu–P bond lengths are 3.25 Å. Au1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Eu2+ and three equivalent P3- atoms. All Au–P bond lengths are 2.50 Å. P3- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Eu2+ and three equivalent Au1+ atoms.
