Materials Data on LuSiRh by Materials Project
LuRhSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rh and five equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.24 Å. There are a spread of Lu–Si bond distances ranging from 2.92–2.95 Å. Rh is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Lu and four equivalent Si atoms. There are three shorter (2.48 Å) and one longer (2.57 Å) Rh–Si bond lengths. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Lu and four equivalent Rh atoms.
