Materials Data on Eu2H6Ir by Materials Project
Eu2IrH6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu is bonded to twelve equivalent H atoms to form EuH12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent EuH12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent EuH12 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent IrH6 octahedra. All Eu–H bond lengths are 2.68 Å. Ir is bonded to six equivalent H atoms to form IrH6 octahedra that share faces with eight equivalent EuH12 cuboctahedra. All Ir–H bond lengths are 1.72 Å. H is bonded to four equivalent Eu and one Ir atom to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing HEu4Ir square pyramids.
