Materials Data on SrIn5 by Materials Project
SrIn5 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr is bonded in a hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent In atoms. All Sr–In bond lengths are 3.70 Å. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded to eight In atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing InIn8 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (3.18 Å) and four longer (3.20 Å) In–In bond lengths. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sr and six equivalent In atoms.
