Materials Data on PuB2Ir3 by Materials Project
PuIr3B2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pu, twelve equivalent Ir, and six equivalent B atoms. Both Pu–Pu bond lengths are 3.12 Å. All Pu–Ir bond lengths are 3.15 Å. All Pu–B bond lengths are 3.16 Å. Ir is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Pu and four equivalent B atoms. All Ir–B bond lengths are 2.22 Å. B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pu and six equivalent Ir atoms.
