Materials Data on NbSiRh by Materials Project
NbRhSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nb is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rh and five equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Nb–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.01 Å. There are three shorter (2.70 Å) and two longer (2.75 Å) Nb–Si bond lengths. Rh is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Nb and four equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Rh–Si bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.47 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Nb and four equivalent Rh atoms.
