Materials Data on GdB2Ir3 by Materials Project
GdIr3B2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Gd, twelve equivalent Ir, and six equivalent B atoms. Both Gd–Gd bond lengths are 3.15 Å. All Gd–Ir bond lengths are 3.17 Å. All Gd–B bond lengths are 3.18 Å. Ir is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Gd and four equivalent B atoms. All Ir–B bond lengths are 2.24 Å. B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Gd and six equivalent Ir atoms.
