Materials Data on Ce3PBr3 by Materials Project

Ce3PBr3 crystallizes in the cubic I4_132 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded to two equivalent P and four equivalent Br atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CeP2Br4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 4–8°. Both Ce–P bond lengths are 2.82 Å. There are two shorter (3.06 Å) and two longer (3.10 Å) Ce–Br bond lengths. P is bonded to six equivalent Ce atoms to form edge-sharing PCe6 octahedra. Br is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Ce atoms.
