Materials Data on TbPu by Materials Project
PuTb crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu is bonded to six equivalent Pu and six equivalent Tb atoms to form PuTb6Pu6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent PuTb6Pu6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent PuTb6Pu6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent TbTb6Pu6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent PuTb6Pu6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent TbTb6Pu6 cuboctahedra. All Pu–Pu bond lengths are 3.55 Å. All Pu–Tb bond lengths are 3.58 Å.
