Materials Data on Ba(PIr)2 by Materials Project
BaIr2P2 is Parent of FeAs superconductors-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent P atoms. All Ba–P bond lengths are 3.40 Å. Ir is bonded to four equivalent P atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing IrP4 tetrahedra. All Ir–P bond lengths are 2.38 Å. P is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba and four equivalent Ir atoms.
