Materials Data on In2Bi by Materials Project
In2Bi crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent In and six equivalent Bi atoms. Both In–In bond lengths are 3.34 Å. All In–Bi bond lengths are 3.63 Å. In the second In site, In is bonded to five equivalent Bi atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing InBi5 trigonal bipyramids. There are three shorter (3.22 Å) and two longer (3.34 Å) In–Bi bond lengths. Bi is bonded to eleven In atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing BiIn11 trigonal bipyramids.
