Materials Data on Re3C by Materials Project
Re3C is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re is bonded to four equivalent Re and four equivalent C atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing ReRe4C4 tetrahedra. All Re–Re bond lengths are 2.61 Å. All Re–C bond lengths are 2.61 Å. In the second Re site, Re is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Re atoms. C is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Re atoms.
