Materials Data on Bi2Rh by Materials Project
RhBi2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rh is bonded to six Bi atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing RhBi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–57°. There are a spread of Rh–Bi bond distances ranging from 2.72–2.81 Å. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rh atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rh atoms.
