Materials Data on SmCu2 by Materials Project
SmCu2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Cu atoms. There are a spread of Sm–Cu bond distances ranging from 3.00–3.18 Å. Cu is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm and four equivalent Cu atoms. There are a spread of Cu–Cu bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.82 Å.
