Materials Data on SmGeIr by Materials Project
SmIrGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ir and five equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Sm–Ir bond distances ranging from 3.09–3.38 Å. There are two shorter (3.03 Å) and three longer (3.10 Å) Sm–Ge bond lengths. Ir is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm and four equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ir–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.68 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sm and four equivalent Ir atoms.
