Materials Data on CeB4(IrOs)2 by Materials Project
CeB4(OsIr)2 is alpha Pu-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four B+1.50- atoms. All Ce–B bond lengths are 2.92 Å. Os2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four B+1.50- atoms. There are a spread of Os–B bond distances ranging from 2.13–2.18 Å. Ir+3.50+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four B+1.50- atoms. There are a spread of Ir–B bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.19 Å. There are two inequivalent B+1.50- sites. In the first B+1.50- site, B+1.50- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ce3+, three equivalent Os2-, one Ir+3.50+, and one B+1.50- atom. The B–B bond length is 1.81 Å. In the second B+1.50- site, B+1.50- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Ce3+, one Os2-, three equivalent Ir+3.50+, and one B+1.50- atom.
