Materials Data on Y2MgIr by Materials Project
MgY2Ir crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two MgY2Ir ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Mg is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Y atoms. Both Mg–Y bond lengths are 3.33 Å. Y is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Mg and one Ir atom. The Y–Ir bond length is 2.43 Å. Ir is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Y atoms.
