Materials Data on UGeIr by Materials Project
UIrGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ir and six equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of U–Ir bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.35 Å. There are a spread of U–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.16 Å. Ir is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent U and four equivalent Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ir–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.73 Å. Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent U and four equivalent Ir atoms.
