Materials Data on Tm(GeRh)2 by Materials Project
Tm(RhGe)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tm is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Rh and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Tm–Rh bond lengths are 3.30 Å. All Tm–Ge bond lengths are 3.17 Å. Rh is bonded to four equivalent Tm and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing RhTm4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Rh–Ge bond lengths are 2.46 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tm, four equivalent Rh, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.48 Å.
