Materials Data on Li(SiRh)2 by Materials Project
Li(RhSi)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Si4- atoms. All Li–Si bond lengths are 2.70 Å. Rh+3.50+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Si4- atoms. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and four longer (2.50 Å) Rh–Si bond lengths. Si4- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li1+ and six equivalent Rh+3.50+ atoms.
