Materials Data on Eu3Au by Materials Project
Eu3Au is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Eu sites. In the first Eu site, Eu is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Au atoms. There are a spread of Eu–Au bond distances ranging from 3.15–3.57 Å. In the second Eu site, Eu is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Au atoms. There are one shorter (3.10 Å) and one longer (3.14 Å) Eu–Au bond lengths. Au is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Eu atoms.
