Materials Data on Tb2(Al3Ir)3 by Materials Project
Tb2(IrAl3)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eleven Al atoms. There are a spread of Tb–Al bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.15 Å. There are two inequivalent Ir sites. In the first Ir site, Ir is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Al atoms. There are four shorter (2.57 Å) and four longer (2.62 Å) Ir–Al bond lengths. In the second Ir site, Ir is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Al atoms. There are a spread of Ir–Al bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.61 Å. There are four inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Tb and two equivalent Ir atoms. In the second Al site, Al is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Tb, three Ir, and one Al atom. The Al–Al bond length is 2.78 Å. In the third Al site, Al is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Tb, three Ir, and five Al atoms. There are one shorter (2.72 Å) and two longer (2.87 Å) Al–Al bond lengths. In the fourth Al site, Al is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Tb, two equivalent Ir, and two equivalent Al atoms.
