Materials Data on K(PIr)2 by Materials Project
K(IrP)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent P atoms. All K–P bond lengths are 3.44 Å. Ir is bonded to four equivalent P atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing IrP4 tetrahedra. All Ir–P bond lengths are 2.37 Å. P is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K and four equivalent Ir atoms.
