Materials Data on ReIr by Materials Project
ReIr crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Re is bonded to six equivalent Re and six equivalent Ir atoms to form distorted ReRe6Ir6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent ReRe6Ir6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent ReRe6Ir6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent IrRe6Ir6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent ReRe6Ir6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent IrRe6Ir6 cuboctahedra. All Re–Re bond lengths are 2.78 Å. All Re–Ir bond lengths are 2.73 Å.
