Materials Data on Gd2Fe2I by Materials Project
Gd2IFe2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Fe and three equivalent I atoms. There are three shorter (2.88 Å) and three longer (3.00 Å) Gd–Fe bond lengths. All Gd–I bond lengths are 3.40 Å. Fe is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd and three equivalent Fe atoms. All Fe–Fe bond lengths are 2.30 Å. I is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Gd atoms.
