Materials Data on Pu4Bi3 by Materials Project
Pu4Bi3 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu is bonded to six equivalent Bi atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing PuBi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 15–51°. There are three shorter (3.27 Å) and three longer (3.34 Å) Pu–Bi bond lengths. Bi is bonded to eight equivalent Pu atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing BiPu8 hexagonal bipyramids.
