Materials Data on Ce(In2Au)2 by Materials Project
Ce(AuIn2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six Au and ten In atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Au bond distances ranging from 3.46–3.95 Å. There are a spread of Ce–In bond distances ranging from 3.33–3.74 Å. There are two inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce and seven In atoms. There are a spread of Au–In bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.05 Å. In the second Au site, Au is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce and seven In atoms. There are a spread of Au–In bond distances ranging from 2.84–2.91 Å. There are four inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce and three equivalent Au atoms. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce and four Au atoms. In the third In site, In is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce and three equivalent Au atoms. In the fourth In site, In is bonded to one Ce and four Au atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing InCeAu4 tetrahedra.
