Materials Data on PuIr2 by Materials Project
PuIr2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ir atoms. All Pu–Ir bond lengths are 3.10 Å. Ir is bonded to six equivalent Pu and six equivalent Ir atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing IrPu6Ir6 cuboctahedra. All Ir–Ir bond lengths are 2.64 Å.
