Materials Data on Lu(SiRh)2 by Materials Project
LuRh2Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Rh and eight equivalent Si atoms. All Lu–Rh bond lengths are 3.19 Å. All Lu–Si bond lengths are 3.10 Å. Rh is bonded to four equivalent Lu and four equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing RhLu4Si4 tetrahedra. All Rh–Si bond lengths are 2.39 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu, four equivalent Rh, and one Si atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.38 Å.
