Materials Data on LaYAl2 by Materials Project
LaYAl2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two LaYAl2 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. La is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Al atoms. Both La–Al bond lengths are 2.93 Å. Y is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Al atoms. Both Y–Al bond lengths are 2.94 Å. Al is bonded in a linear geometry to one La and one Y atom.
