Materials Data on Re7B3 by Materials Project
Re7B3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent B atoms. All Re–B bond lengths are 2.24 Å. In the second Re site, Re is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent B atoms. Both Re–B bond lengths are 2.26 Å. In the third Re site, Re is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent B atoms. There are one shorter (2.20 Å) and two longer (2.23 Å) Re–B bond lengths. B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Re atoms.
