Materials Data on Eu3Bi by Materials Project
Eu3Bi is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Bi atoms. There are two shorter (3.62 Å) and two longer (3.70 Å) Eu–Bi bond lengths. Bi is bonded to twelve equivalent Eu atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing BiEu12 cuboctahedra.
