Materials Data on Li3Eu by Materials Project
Li3Eu crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Li and four equivalent Eu atoms. There are two shorter (3.02 Å) and four longer (3.21 Å) Li–Li bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.47 Å) and two longer (3.52 Å) Li–Eu bond lengths. Eu is bonded to twelve equivalent Li atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing EuLi12 cuboctahedra.
