Materials Data on SmRh2 by Materials Project
SmRh2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Rh atoms. All Sm–Rh bond lengths are 3.16 Å. Rh is bonded to six equivalent Sm and six equivalent Rh atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing RhSm6Rh6 cuboctahedra. All Rh–Rh bond lengths are 2.70 Å.
