Materials Data on Ce5Rh4 by Materials Project
Ce5Rh4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Rh atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.37 Å. In the second Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Rh atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.04 Å. In the third Ce site, Ce is bonded to six Rh atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CeRh6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–52°. There are a spread of Ce–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.67–3.23 Å. There are three inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to eight Ce and one Rh atom. The Rh–Rh bond length is 2.85 Å. In the second Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ce atoms. In the third Rh site, Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to eight Ce and one Rh atom.
