Materials Data on Y(ReB)4 by Materials Project
Y(ReB)4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/nmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Re and twelve equivalent B atoms. There are four shorter (3.08 Å) and eight longer (3.19 Å) Y–Re bond lengths. There are eight shorter (3.04 Å) and four longer (3.29 Å) Y–B bond lengths. Re is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y and five equivalent B atoms. There are three shorter (2.22 Å) and two longer (2.34 Å) Re–B bond lengths. B is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y, five equivalent Re, and one B atom. The B–B bond length is 1.81 Å.
