Materials Data on Y2InAu2 by Materials Project
Y2Au2In crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au and four equivalent In atoms. There are two shorter (2.95 Å) and four longer (3.05 Å) Y–Au bond lengths. All Y–In bond lengths are 3.51 Å. Au is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y, one Au, and two equivalent In atoms. The Au–Au bond length is 2.91 Å. Both Au–In bond lengths are 3.16 Å. In is bonded to eight equivalent Y and four equivalent Au atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing InY8Au4 cuboctahedra.
