Materials Data on CeBr3 by Materials Project
CeBr3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent Br1- atoms. There are six shorter (3.06 Å) and three longer (3.25 Å) Ce–Br bond lengths. Br1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Ce3+ atoms.
