Materials Data on Er(GeRh)2 by Materials Project
Er(RhGe)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Rh and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Er–Rh bond lengths are 3.31 Å. All Er–Ge bond lengths are 3.18 Å. Rh is bonded to four equivalent Er and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing RhEr4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Rh–Ge bond lengths are 2.46 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Er, four equivalent Rh, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.50 Å.
