Materials Data on Gd(GeRh)2 by Materials Project
Gd(RhGe)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Rh and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Gd–Rh bond lengths are 3.34 Å. All Gd–Ge bond lengths are 3.21 Å. Rh is bonded to four equivalent Gd and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing RhGd4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Rh–Ge bond lengths are 2.47 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd, four equivalent Rh, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.56 Å.
