Materials Data on Tb5Ir3 by Materials Project
Tb5Ir3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Tb sites. In the first Tb site, Tb is bonded to six equivalent Ir atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing TbIr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 36°. All Tb–Ir bond lengths are 3.02 Å. In the second Tb site, Tb is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ir atoms. There are a spread of Tb–Ir bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.32 Å. Ir is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Tb atoms.
