Materials Data on ErGaRh by Materials Project
ErRhGa crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Rh and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Er–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.04 Å. There are a spread of Er–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.19 Å. Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Er and four equivalent Ga atoms. There are three shorter (2.61 Å) and one longer (2.67 Å) Rh–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Er and four equivalent Rh atoms.
