Materials Data on Ce(SiIr)2 by Materials Project
CeIr2Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ir and eight equivalent Si atoms. All Ce–Ir bond lengths are 3.26 Å. All Ce–Si bond lengths are 3.15 Å. Ir is bonded to four equivalent Ce and four equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing IrCe4Si4 tetrahedra. All Ir–Si bond lengths are 2.43 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce, four equivalent Ir, and one Si atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.46 Å.
