Materials Data on CeSiI by Materials Project
CeSiI crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one CeSiI sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ce is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Si and three equivalent I atoms. There are three shorter (3.05 Å) and three longer (3.11 Å) Ce–Si bond lengths. All Ce–I bond lengths are 3.23 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce and three equivalent Si atoms. All Si–Si bond lengths are 2.40 Å. I is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce atoms.
