Materials Data on RePb3 by Materials Project
RePb3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Re is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to fourteen Pb atoms. There are eight shorter (3.19 Å) and six longer (3.68 Å) Re–Pb bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pb sites. In the first Pb site, Pb is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Re and four equivalent Pb atoms. All Pb–Pb bond lengths are 3.19 Å. In the second Pb site, Pb is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to six equivalent Re and eight equivalent Pb atoms.
