Materials Data on Ge3Os by Materials Project
OsGe3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Os sites. In the first Os site, Os is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to fourteen Ge atoms. There are a spread of Os–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.77–3.21 Å. In the second Os site, Os is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to fourteen Ge atoms. There are a spread of Os–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.77–3.21 Å. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four Os and four Ge atoms. All Ge–Ge bond lengths are 2.77 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six Os and eight equivalent Ge atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six Os and eight equivalent Ge atoms.
