Materials Data on Ce3Rh2 by Materials Project
Ce3Rh2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Rh atoms. All Ce–Rh bond lengths are 3.00 Å. In the second Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rh atoms. There are three shorter (2.88 Å) and three longer (3.11 Å) Ce–Rh bond lengths. In the third Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Rh atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.25 Å. Rh is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ce atoms.
