Materials Data on EuBi2 by Materials Project
EuBi2 is Zirconium Disilicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Bi atoms. There are a spread of Eu–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.42–3.72 Å. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Eu and two equivalent Bi atoms. Both Bi–Bi bond lengths are 3.26 Å. In the second Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Eu and four equivalent Bi atoms. All Bi–Bi bond lengths are 3.36 Å.
