Materials Data on USiIr by Materials Project
UIrSi 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 Si atoms. There are a spread of U–Ir bond distances ranging from 2.85–3.25 Å. There are a spread of U–Si bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.10 Å. Ir is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent U and four equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Ir–Si bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.70 Å. Si is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent U and four equivalent Ir atoms.
