Materials Data on Li3Np by Materials Project
Li3Np 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 Np atoms. There are two shorter (2.88 Å) and four longer (2.99 Å) Li–Li bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.24 Å) and two longer (3.25 Å) Li–Np bond lengths. Np is bonded to twelve equivalent Li atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing NpLi12 cuboctahedra.
