Materials Data on BaCe3 by Materials Project
BaCe3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded to twelve equivalent Ce atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing BaCe12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.63 Å) and six longer (3.88 Å) Ba–Ce bond lengths. Ce is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba and six equivalent Ce atoms. There are two shorter (2.89 Å) and four longer (3.40 Å) Ce–Ce bond lengths.
