Materials Data on La5Bi3Br by Materials Project

La5Bi3Br crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Bi and two equivalent Br atoms. There are a spread of La–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.36–3.61 Å. Both La–Br bond lengths are 3.18 Å. In the second La site, La is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Bi atoms. All La–Bi bond lengths are 3.51 Å. Bi is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine La atoms. Br is bonded to six equivalent La atoms to form face-sharing BrLa6 octahedra.
