Materials Data on SiIr2 by Materials Project
Ir2Si is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ir sites. In the first Ir site, Ir is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Ir–Si bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.91 Å. In the second Ir site, Ir is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Ir–Si bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.93 Å. Si is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Ir atoms.
