Materials Data on PuReB2 by Materials Project
PuReB2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent B3- atoms. There are a spread of Pu–B bond distances ranging from 2.63–2.90 Å. Re3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent B3- atoms. There are four shorter (2.28 Å) and two longer (2.30 Å) Re–B bond lengths. B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pu3+, three equivalent Re3+, and two equivalent B3- atoms. Both B–B bond lengths are 1.83 Å.
